Enterprise Precast Concrete

Benefits

Precast concrete is strong. Structural strength provides long clear spans, and its exceptional durability provides for low maintenance.

Precast concrete is flexible. Compatible with all structural systems, it can be utilized to enhance the design and installation of a variety of building components.

Precast concrete is extremely versatile. It can be made to compliment a host of other building materials by incorporating limestone, granite, marble or a variety of brick and tile products. See our Resources page for samples of possible precast finishes, as well as information regarding its usage.

Other unique qualities of precast concrete:

Countless Design Options and Efficiency

You can use precast concrete to support or enhance virtually any material. It provides architects with a variety of aesthetic options and building owners can better adapt to changing client needs. Precast can span as far as 70 ft to provide flexibility for challenging interior requirements and also provides high loading capacity at little added cost. See our Resources page for samples of possible precast finishes, as well as more information regarding its usage.

Production Efficiency

Designs meet specifications more readily with high-quality precast. Fabricated off-site under controlled conditions, precast components benefit from the expertise of master form makers and concrete craftsmen. Production line efficiency adds value by bringing economies-of-scale to the construction process.

Quicker, More Efficient Construction

The continuous, uninterrupted erection of precast structural components lends itself perfectly to fast track construction schedules. Especially crucial for “revenue buildings,” Developers and General Contractors appreciate the efficiencies of building with precast concrete. Precast’s modular approach minimizes surprises and allows the construction process to meet or exceed deadline expectations.

Erection Efficiency and Safety

Precast has many advantages at the job site – minimizing installation time; ensuring a precise fit; keeping the site cleaner; erecting in virtually all weather conditions; and minimizing or even eliminating trades from the construction zone – all of which improve logistics and enhance worker safety.

Very Low Maintenance

The integrity of precast concrete makes it extremely easy to maintain.

Weather-Proof

Precast components are manufactured year-round. This aids in the adherence to construction scheduling while helping to meet critical deadlines.

Environmentally Friendly

Precast concrete supports a Green Design philosophy. Compliant with the recent Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System®, a precast initiative can support design and construction that is good for the environment. See our LEED page for more information regarding this important movement.
