Precast formwork is similar in concept to a prefabricated home. This is because the formwork in question has been molded, dried and cured at the plant level. A precast is the antithesis of the concrete mixer at the construction site.
The precast method is advantageous because it helps minimize the mess at the construction site. At the same time, the mold used to pour the concrete can be reused many times. In the construction area, concrete layers usually build their own mold through makeshift wood similar to wooden pallets.
This process can lead to the lack of uniformity no matter how exacting the standards. By resorting to the use of prebuilt concrete panels, walls, and slabs, efficiency can be further improved. Ultimately, the process leads to more stability on the part of the entire structure.
No wonder a lot of companies specialize in formwork of the precast kind. There are even associations established to ensure that certain standards are met production wise. It’s even possible that someday, the concrete mixer at the site may be a thing of the past.
