Precast concrete beams and columns are concrete building elements that are produced in advance in a factory, rather than being poured on site. This ensures consistent quality and speeds up construction time, as the components are ready for assembly as soon as they arrive on site.
Precast concrete beams and columns are used in various types of construction projects, such as:
- Industrial buildings: For large spans and robust structures.
- Residential complexes: For fast and efficient construction of apartments and residential buildings.
- Infrastructure: For bridges, overpasses and other civil works.
- Commercial buildings: For offices, shopping centers and other commercial spaces.
Yes, precast concrete beams and columns are designed (based on calculation notes) to carry heavy loads. They are tested and manufactured to meet the requirements of the specific project, be it an industrial hall, a bridge or an apartment complex. Their strength and durability make them suitable for long-term construction.
Precast concrete slabs are precast concrete slabs constructed of a concrete layer with integrated lattice girders. At the job site, additional concrete is poured on the lattice girders and the protruded reinforcement, creating a solid, sturdy floor.
Predals are precast concrete slabs with integrated lattice girders. Additional concrete is poured on site on top of the lattice girders and the protruded reinforcement, creating a solid floor that can be heavily loaded and flexibly retrofitted (e.g. drill holes or install piping).
Vaults have a similar purpose, but are hollow precast elements with prestressing reinforcement. This limits the placement of holes or piping because the reinforcement must not be touched. Predals thus offer more flexibility and ultimately create a full, solid concrete floor, while vaults have more restrictions.
Predals offer multiple advantages, including excellent load capacity, quick installation and durable performance. Because of their prestressed construction, they can support heavy loads without deforming. In addition, installation is much faster than traditional concrete floors.
Yes, concrete floor slabs are versatile and can be used in a wide range of construction projects, from residential to commercial buildings. They provide a stable and durable base for floors and are suitable for both new construction and renovations.
Hollow concrete walls are lighter during installation because they have an open structure internally, while full walls are completely solid. Hollow walls are therefore easier to handle and faster to install.”
Yes, hollow concrete walls can be perfectly used as load-bearing elements, depending on the type and application. They combine lower weight (during assembly) with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
In many cases, features such as insulation can be integrated during production.
Hollow walls in precast concrete meet common fire safety requirements.
Precast sandwich panels consist of two concrete shells with an insulation layer (in PIR or rock wool) between them. They combine bearing capacity, insulation and finishing in one efficient building component.
They are ideal for facades of industrial buildings, logistics centers, offices and even apartments. Thanks to their insulating core, they meet today’s requirements for energy efficiency.
Yes. Depending on the project, you can choose decorative concrete, colored or blasted concrete, textured mats or stone strips. This will give the façade the right look without additional operations on site.
They are produced to size and assembled on site immediately using cranes. The rapid installation reduces construction time. Anchoring the panels to the structure is a separate study.
Absolutely. C-concrete manufactures all hybrid floor slabs in-house, allowing dimensions, spans and technical details to be fully tailored to the project design.
Hybrid floor slabs are ideal for office and residential projects, public buildings or renovations where both appearance and acoustic comfort are important. Their light weight and prefabricated production make them suitable for a variety of building applications.
The boards are delivered completely prefabricated, with integrated connections and fastening points. This makes assembly fast, efficient and error-free.
Prefabrication moves critical hours from the job site to the factory. This provides predictable delivery times and shortens the assembly window, which helps reduce overall lead time.
C-concrete offers different levels of finishing: 1x dusted, 2x dusted, rolled or getaloucheerd (=flattened). Thus the desired flatness and appearance are achieved according to standards. Polished full walls are also possible.
We use sleds instead of trailers. This makes transportation more stable and prevents damage during movement.
Yes, given the right finish and surface treatment, full walls can serve perfectly as exposed concrete in architectural projects.
Absolutely. They fit seamlessly with other precast solutions such as floor elements, stairs and façade panels.
