precast construction - FDArchitects - 04-02-2014

The concept of precast (also known as “prefabricated”) construction includes those buildings where the majority of structural components are standardized and produced in plants in a location away from the building, and then transported to the site for assembly.

Features

The main features of this construction process are as follows:
The division and specialization of the human workforce.
The use of tools, machinery, and other equipment, usually automated, in the production of standard, interchangeable parts and products.

Supercast, one of the many, uses the Technology for Precast Structures in India.

The next evolution will see greater use of precast concrete in residential buildings. Building construction is witnessing significant automation, and builders are now more ready to experiment with new techniques and building materials. Modular, ready-to-use structures are gaining popularity as they possess the aesthetic appeal of modern construction as well as cost-effectiveness.
