Precast Concrete Advantages Over Cast-In-Place Concrete

Design Flexibility unlimited shape, color, texture & functionTotal precast parking structures allow for long unobstructed spans,

creating open spaces and giving more design flexibility. With various

color pigments, reveals, shapes and textures, the design options are

literally endless. Structures can be as unique as imaginable, or designed

to fit seamlessly into an existing development.

Rapid Construction 

Precast concrete has significantly shorter construction schedules than

cast-in-place concrete construction. The majority of the precast

fabrication is completed while the foundations are being installed in the

field. Once precast installation commences, the time needed to erect

the precast structure is significantly quicker than cast-in-place. Precast

employs a vertical construction method rather than the horizontal one

used in cast-in-place.

Since precast components are already cured before they reach the jobsite,

they can be erected vertically – from the foundation to the roof – in zones.

Thus, complete sections of the building are ready for sub-trades to enter and

begin their work, sometimes in just a few days. Cast-in-place concrete, on the

other hand, is usually erected using a horizontal method. This means an entire

floor must be poured and allowed to cure until the required design strength is

achieved .This keeps any sub-trades work from beginning and severely limits

the ability to overlap schedule items. Coreslab delivers 'finished' precast

components to the jobsite controlling waste in the production plant.

Parking structures constructed

with cast-in-place concrete are

limited in design options for the

exterior appearance. The typical

options are an up-turned beam,

grouted masonry or a cable

system, unless another material

is applied over the cast-in-place

frame at an additional cost.

Precast Concrete Advantages Over Cast-In-Place Concrete

Open SpaceMany designers specify precast concrete components because of their

structural flexibility. Design options include long clear spans or larger panels

that reduce the number of columns or joints, saving time and material costs. By

eliminating structural columns with long clear spans, foundation costs can be

reduced as much as two thirds of structural steel or cast-in-place structures.

Additionally, the new 12'-0" wide double tee requires fewer pieces to produce

and erect resulting in greater project economy.

The long span capability of precast concrete has a significant advantage over

cast-in-place. Precast concrete parking structures are more open and user

friendly because the columns can be spaced at 36’ to 45’ apart in lieu of the 18’

spacing of a typical cast-in-place structure.

Coreslab Structures is using new framing techniques, such as lite walls, to

eliminate columns and shadowy spaces.

Safety & security are key qualities of any parking structure design. Precast

concrete’s ability to provide open, clear spans creates light, bright interiors

within the structure, reassuring users while making the traffic pattern easier to

understand and navigate.

Maintenance/DurabilityPrecast concrete parking structures are recognized as having

superior performance with less long term maintenance because the

precast components are produced in a plant controlled environment

with a high degree of quality and craftsmanship, which is not possible

to replicate on a job site. Also, all the precast components consist of

high performance concrete (5000 to 8000 psi) in lieu of the 4000 psi

concrete typically used for cast-in-place structures.

It is possible to design and build precast structures in excess of 400’

long without the need for any costly expansion joints. Cast-in-place

structures typically require expansion joints at 250’ o.c. and

expansion joints historically have proven to be a maintenance

nightmare. Precast structures with small planned joints prevent leaks

through precise, high quality sealing.

Precast components are fabricated in a PCI

Certified casting facility which negates the

need for a third party special inspection, thus

saving the owner significant cost for work that

would need to be performed on the site for

cast-in-place concrete.
