Sustainability Resources

Environmentally Friendly and built to last.

Building with precast concrete is easier and faster than traditional construction techniques and provides a whole list of environmental benefits at every step of the project’s life cycle. 

Environmentally friendly – reducing our carbon footprint.

Cement production contributes 3% of global emissions due to the carbon released by clinker and limestone. While precast is often compared to timber, which is linked to forest degradation, precast offers sustainable advantages. These include technologies to reduce or capture carbon, greener concrete formulas, and long-term waste reduction through lower maintenance needs.

Thermal Mass and Energy Savings

Thermal mass refers to a material’s ability to absorb and store heat energy. Concrete has a high thermal mass, requiring a lot of heat energy to change temperature, while timber has a low thermal mass.

Noise Resistant

Did you know that precast concrete walls, floors, and ceilings can effectively isolate noise from areas where it’s not wanted? It’s an excellent way to create peaceful and quiet spaces.

Fire Resistant

Learn more about the inherent fire protection and resiliency provided by precast concrete. Concrete doesn’t combust, making it a great resource for containing fires within a controlled space.

Benefits of building with precast concrete.

Prefabricated architectural solutions pair beauty and unrivaled strength – protecting your structure from weather extremes, blast, fire, and insect infestation. They also provide cost-savings over traditional building materials and construction techniques – without sacrificing quality, durability, or design flexibility. 

Aesthetic Versatility

Unlimited surface textures, decorative finish options, colors, and detailing techniques to help meet unique design requirements. 

Energy Efficiency

Superior thermal performance to help reduce heating and cooling costs.

Accelerated Construction

All-weather construction for efficient, year-round enhancements to meet any deadline. 

Safety and Protection

Resistant to fire, pests, blasts, and harsh weather conditions to protect a building’s structural integrity.

 Noise Reductions

Excellent sound absorption, creating spaces that are easy on the eyes and easy on the ears. 

Reduced Life Cycle Costs

Low maintenance and highly durable, helping structures stand the test of time; the average building lifespan is over 100 years.
