Precast Factories
Shop and erection design for precast plants: element design, reinforcement, transport and erection stages, matched to your moulds and production.
Element design for production – with your plant’s constraints, not against them.
What we deliver
- Element drawings for floors, walls, columns, beams and stairs
- Reinforcement and cast-in items, with schedules for production
- Verification for transport, lifting and erection stages
- Erection drawings and connection details
Production governs the detail
An element that is structurally correct but does not fit the mould is no help. We design against your mould dimensions, pallet sizes, crane capacity and transport envelopes. Repetition is the biggest lever here: the fewer element types, the cheaper the production – so we reduce types wherever the analysis allows.
The critical case is often the lift
For slender elements it is not the final condition that governs but striking, transport and lifting. Those verifications and the position of the lifting anchors are part of the element design.
Interface with the structural engineer
We either work to someone else’s structural design or do both. In the second case the coordination loop that usually costs time here disappears – see precast shop and erection drawings.
