Precast concrete is a type of concrete that is casted in advance instead of during construction. This type of concrete is casted in a factory and is available in various shapes and sizes. Precast concrete could help speed up and simplify both building and infrastructure construction processes. During the past few years, the usage of precast concrete in Indonesia’s construction industry has significantly improved. Some of the most frequent usage of precast concrete are drainage installation, highway and modern building constructions, as well as house construction. Precast concrete is getting more popular because it has quite a lot of advantages in various factors, such as time, quality, and budget. Here are some advantages that you could get by using precast concrete as a building material:
- On Time Production Result
One of the main advantages of using precast concrete is that this type of concrete could speed up construction process duration, so the construction work could be done more effectively and on time. By using precast concrete, you do not have to spare some of your construction time for on-site concrete casting and drying, because the concrete will be sent directly to your construction site and it will be ready to use.
- Guaranteed and Consistent Quality
One of the most common problems that people face when it comes to using concrete that is manually casted on-site is the quality. On-site casting and drying makes the concrete exposed to changing weather, sunlight, and rain, which could result in lower concrete quality. Meanwhile, precast concrete is casted in a specific casting area that is mainly located indoors or is well maintained, which could result in better quality concrete. Moreover, precast concrete is also produced using high technology machines rather than manually. This could help maintain concrete’s final result.
- More Competitive Price
Aside from quality and time aspects, another main advantage that you will get by using precast concrete is its competitive price. By using precast concrete, you are not only saving time, but also are saving the whole construction budget. Precast concrete could reduce on-site cast cost. In conventional concrete construction, a cast could only be used 10 times at maximum, so it often becomes a problem by people who are short on budget. Moreover, the manpower needed during precast concrete construction is also cheaper. If you decide to use precast concrete, you could save the additional manpower cost that is usually needed for on-site concrete casting.
