When we are looking at building the future of India, two major components that we strive for are longevity and strength. The buildings should last for generations withholding the strength that they were first built with. This is the aim of all civil engineers and architects. In a world where we often come across products that are not of good quality and buildings that are not durable, precast is bringing a revolution in the field of infrastructure by encompassing both essential qualities with an added advantage of innovation.
Now the question may arise that how can we be so sure about the longevity of precast? A simple answer to this is that all the major processes that regulate the quality of precast concrete namely curing, material grades, formwork, etc. are done in the factory environment where several quality checks are run by the experts.
Precast is produced under controlled conditions and this gives it an advantage over cast-in-situ which weather conditions and many other external factors affect. The engineering and production of precast have evolved over the years making it stronger and stronger. Precast not only has a lifespan of over 100 years but also doesn’t deteriorate in strength like other ways of making a building. The manufacturing is climate controlled and every aspect of it is closely monitored.
In addition to the above points, the compressive strength of the building plays a major role. The production of denser concrete means greater compressive strength leading to more durable buildings. Here, Urbanaac works as a game changer as we regulate the amount of cement mixed in our plant ensuring that every precast element is created with exactness leaving no room for error or weakness. In turn, stronger concrete becomes synonymous with long-lasting, ultra-durable precast elements.
The unmatched strength of precast is non-negotiable. It comes with the qualities of being thermally insulated, water resistant, weatherproof, corrosion resistant, and much more that are not present in the other traditional practices of making a building.
You can rest easy knowing Urbanaac delivers precast elements that are of standard quality in which every batch of raw materials is tested and certified by our in-house Quality Control Lab, thereby precast is ‘BUILT TO LAST’.
