Precast/Prestressed Concrete Manufacturing Efficiency

Our production tolerances are the highest achievable so less waste is generated. Most waste concrete is recycled directly on site by being crushed to reuse as aggregate or to be applied across the plant as road base. Our level of strict control throughout the entire manufacturing process results in environmental benefits in terms of using fewer raw materials and less energy in manufacturing. It also reduces emissions from mining, processing and transporting raw and finished materials. To our clients it means these efficiencies translate into economic benefits as well as more competitive pricing.

Built In Flexibility For Longer Life

The optimization of materials, due to prestressing, in precast/prestressed concrete construction results in much less concrete being required as compared to cast-in-place structures. Finfrock's fully integrated Design-Manufacture-Construct project delivery system provides more efficient structural components, longer interior spans and less material used on site. Long, precast interior spans create vast open space and eliminate the forest of support columns inherent in other structural systems. The versatility of such interior room extends the building's useful life. The space can be quickly and economically reconfigured to meet changing demographic or utilitarian needs. This is especially important where land is at a premium such as in urban centers or college campuses. Precast structures can support an ever-changing mix of office, retail, restaurant, medical, meeting space, classroom or residential applications. This provides environmental savings as well as economic benefits for owners.
