Structural Components including Special Floor Units
Description
Precast concrete structural components are items which are supplied and incorporated into the overall structure, rather than forming the complete structure in themselves. Trent has supplied a wide variety of precast structural components - from special, architecturally-finished floor slabs to columns and cantilevered balconies - in precast concrete, reconstructed stone, natural stone-faced or brick-faced precast.
Benefits
Precast concrete structural elements are used when the form required would be difficult, costly or too time-consuming to produce on site. In addition, precasting the elements overcomes the requirement for scarce, highly-skilled site labour.
Process
Precast concrete structural components are produced in a similar way to precast concrete frames.
