Precast walls for every build
Precast walls are advanced marvels of construction engineering, offering unmatched strength and durability. They are constructed by casting concrete in a reusable wall mould or form, which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site, and lifted into place.
At Buildcast, we are equipped to make any kind of wall openings and inserts. Precast walls can be custom-designed with built-in spaces for doors, windows, vents, and electrical ducts. This helps save time during installation.
Whether it’s for residential, commercial, or industrial projects, these walls help speed up construction while maintaining an elevated aesthetic appeal.
Proven advantages of
precast walls
Moisture protection
Precast walls are designed with effective sealants and joint protection to prevent moisture ingress, ensuring the structure remains safe from water damage.
Fire resistance
Manufactured using concrete, precast walls provide superior fire resistance, enhancing the overall safety of buildings during fire incidents.
Durability
These walls boast a long lifespan comparable to traditional concrete structures. Their durability also hinges on the quality of their connections and the maintenance of joints.
Weather-Resilient
Made from robust concrete, precast walls are primed to withstand extreme weather conditions, providing durability in any climate.
Low maintenance
Precast concrete itself requires minimal maintenance, making it a cost-effective solution over time. Regular checks on connections and sealants help ensure longevity.
Factory-finished column
With all piping, conduits, inserts and other utilities pre-installed in the factory, on-site labour is minimised, hazardous height work is reduced and construction speed is significantly increased.
Types of precast walls
-
Acotec walls
Designed with internal voids, these walls are lighter, cost-effective and enhance construction speed. They also reduce crane usage and improve sound insulation.
-
Solid walls
Solid walls are a cost-effective, ready-to-install solution for both outer and inner wall applications. Perfect for structural load-bearing needs, these walls can eliminate the necessity for additional structural framing.
Solid walls are further divided into two categories: shear walls (thick) and partition walls (thin). Shear walls are designed to provide structural strength and resist lateral forces. On the other hand, partition walls are used to divide internal spaces efficiently.
As a fully finished product, solid walls require no post-processing or on-site concreting, streamlining the construction process and ensuring a quicker, more efficient build.
