What is precast concrete panels?

Precast concrete panels are a type of building material molded in molds, produced in factories and factories. Precast concrete panels are highly resistant, bendable and water resistant, often used to make components such as wall panels, precast fences, concrete columns, foundations, sewer pipes, girders and many other types of components.

Precast concrete panels gradually replace traditional concrete, brick walls, which are commonly applied in the construction of houses and works

Components from precast concrete panels after formation will be transported to the construction site for assembly and construction

The difference between precast concrete and traditional concrete

Traditional concrete poured on site is a type of building material that has been around for a long time, has a high sustainability so it is used very commonly. However, with the advancement of technology, the construction industry is growing more and more, creating new innovations to improve work efficiency. In the past few decades, precast concrete panels have been born, making the construction and construction faster and more time-saving. It is forecasted that in the future, this material can completely replace traditional concrete poured on site.

To see the difference between these two types of building materials in the most intuitive way, check out the comparison table below!

Factors	Precast concrete panels	Traditional concrete poured in place
Production location	Produced at the factory, then transported to the construction site for installation.	Mixed and molded into blocks right at the construction site.
Materials	The composition of precast concrete panels will depend on the technology of each manufacturing plant.	Traditional cast-in-place concrete often uses materials such as sand, crushed stone (or gravel), cement, water and some other admixtures.
Quality	Controlling product quality by strict and supervised production process.	Full control of product quality is not guaranteed.
The influence of weather	Precast concrete panels are manufactured in the area inside the factory, so they will not be affected by the weather.	Because it is poured outdoors, traditional concrete slabs will be affected by weather such as sunshine, rain, wind, dust, ...
The impact on the environment	The process is closed, minimizing the impact on the environment (no dust, no excess material).	The traditional concrete casting process is carried out at the construction site, so it affects human health and the surrounding environment.
Construction speed	Construction speed is faster and simpler 4-5 times than the construction of traditional materials	It takes a while for the concrete to dry.

Types of precast concrete components

Precast concrete panels are used to make various types of components in the building such as wall panels, fences, columns, foundations, electric pillars, sewer pipes,...

Precast concrete walls

Precast concrete wall panels are a type of precast concrete components, capable of perfectly overcoming the disadvantages of traditional types of brick walls and concrete walls. The material for the production of this precast concrete panels is sand, cement,... all are natural materials so they are very safe, friendly to people and the environment. Besides, the product has very good bearing capacity, long service life, can be up to 70 years if used properly. Therefore, precast concrete walls are increasingly commonly used.

Precast concrete wall panels have high durability, made from environmentally friendly materials, fast construction time should be used increasingly popular

Precast concrete wall panels are applied in many different works such as: making partition walls between indoor rooms, outdoor walls, bearing walls, fire protection walls,...

Precast Concrete Pile

Precast concrete piles bring many conveniences to the construction process. Compared to other building materials such as wood, stone, brick,... then precast concrete piles have much superior durability and load capacity.

Precast concrete piles have good bearing capacity, ensuring certainty for the foundation, helping the building become solid

Precast concrete columns are produced from materials that do not conduct heat, do not fire, have high flexibility, easily form many shapes as required so they can meet a variety of scales and structures.

Precast concrete fence

Concrete barriers (also known as centrifugal barriers) are highly durable, adaptable well to all impacts of the environment, made from natural materials so they do not rust, oxidize or affect human health and the surrounding environment. Building concrete barriers is relatively simple, saving a lot of time, only about 2 to 3 workers can be done. Currently, many investors choose the types of precast concrete fences to build fences for the project.

Precast concrete barriers are very popular

Fencing is a very important part of the construction of factories, industrial parks or villas, houses, helping to ensure security, protect private space and increase the aesthetics of the landscape of the building.

precast concrete fences help ensure security and increase the aesthetics of factory buildings

Precast concrete drain

Precast concrete drains are also one of the types of concrete components used very commonly, applied mainly in drainage infrastructure works. Concrete sewer pipes are usually round, boxy or square in shape.

Precast concrete drains are used very commonly in drainage infrastructure works

Precast concrete drains are molded from materials such as cement, sand,... should have a relatively soft production cost, but still ensure the ability to withstand the impact of external forces, the effects of weather, waterproofing, toxic wastes, chemicals, helping to protect the environment as well as save costs, bringing economic efficiency to investors.

Precast Concrete Electric Foundation

The foundation is an extremely important part, helping to create a solidity in the structure of the construction. Nowadays, precast concrete electric nails are used by many investors to make construction materials because of the convenience and quality assurance, helping to shorten the construction time, less cracking than traditional materials

Precast concrete girder

Precast concrete girders are closely checked for quality and texture before putting out the work for installation. This will be an effective alternative to on-site concrete girders. When using this material, the investor can increase the production speed by 4-5 times but still ensure the quality of the works.

Precast concrete girder have many advantages over on-site concrete girders

Advantages and disadvantages of precast concrete panels

Outstanding advantages that make reinforced concrete panel

Precast concrete wall panels were born that helped to improve the quality of the project greatly. Here are some outstanding advantages that make precast concrete wall panels the perfect choice for many construction works.

Precast concrete panels have very good bearing capacity (including strong impacts such as earthquakes), higher durability than traditional materials such as bricks, wood and stone. - Giúp chủ đầu tư tiết kiệm chi phí hơn so với những công trình có kết cấu nhịp vừa và nhỏ.
Help investors save more costs than works with small and medium-sized rhythm structures
Heat resistance, fire resistance is better than wood and steel structure. The wood is flammable, the steel is hard, but when the heat reaches more than 300оC, the durability will begin to decrease. Meanwhile, precast concrete panels can overcome the disadvantages of the above two types of materials.
The construction process is fast and simple, cutting a lot of construction time but still ensuring the progress and quality of the works.
High building life (up to 50 years if used correctly), more cost-effective maintenance than other materials.

Some disadvantages of precast concrete panels

The volume of precast concrete panels is relatively large, requiring machinery and cranes to be able to transport, install and construct at the works. However, companies producing and assembling professional precast concrete panels always have a team of skilled workers and modern machinery and motor vehicles, ensuring the fastest construction and installation.
Some types of concrete are poor and heat resistant and can crack during construction. However, hrc Vietnam's precast concrete panels are manufactured according to Japanese technology standards, so this situation can be overcome.
