The effectiveness of precast concrete shear walls is largely dependent on the panel to panel connections.
Architectural precast concrete wall panels details.
But precast concrete building envelopes don t stop there.
They work seamlessly with a wide range of other building materials enabling easy incorporation of brick tile stone and glazing systems into a single.
The panels can provide concrete answers to satisfy your design program and project delivery objectives.
Based on your design specifications we create a form that will be used to create your architectural precast wall panels.
They offer design flexibility time savings and improved profitability too.

Precast concrete wall panels and veneer are typically lightweight and easy to install with products ranging from thin brick veneer to cladding inspired by limestone travertine and other stone products.
They provide unrivaled strength protecting your structure from weather extremes fire and insect infestation.
It also provides cost savings over more expensive building materials and construction techniques without sacrificing quality durability or design capabilities.
Precast wall systems can be used with both steel and cast in place structural systems.
In some cases precast panels are used as formwork for cast in place concrete.
Precast concrete shear wall panels provide a lateral load resisting system when combined with the diaphragm action of the floor construction.
