Pre-cast Concrete Wall

Pre-cast wall is that type of walls which are constructed in a wall mould and cured in a controlled environment and transported to the construction site and then placed.

It is mainly used to increase the speed of construction.

Types of Precast Walls

Ø Cladding or curtain walls: These are the non-load bearing wall used to with stand against wind. This type of precast wall incorporates divider boards, window divider units, spandrels, mullions, and section covers.

Ø Load bearing wall: It exchange loads from different components and it is easy to remove without damaging.

Ø Shear Wall: Shear walls are vertical members, which resist and transfer lateral forces, in or parallel to the plane of the wall, from the superstructure to the foundation.

It has a good characteristic against thermal resistance, moisture protection, fire safety, acoustics, durability, maintainability.

Advantages of precast concrete walls

Ø It can be used as load-bearing structures so any other structural framing doesn’t require and that will help in saving of cost.

Ø It reduce peak thermal loads and act as a thermal storage.

Ø Precast concrete wall panels can utilize a thin brick veneer that can achieve a traditional appearing facade.

Ø It can be with stand in worse condition as it is more durable and that will make structure low maintenance.

Ø This can be reused for future building.
