Erection Efficiency
At High Concrete Group, a single source contract comes with
single responsibility for manufacturing and erection. Therefore,
design time, coordination and scheduling are minimized.
The noise level of erection is relatively low, which is
important when construction takes place in areas where excessive
noise is undesirable.
Speedy Construction
Because precast concrete elements are fabricated under High
Concrete Group's factory conditions, critical steps in the
construction process can overlap to save valuable preparation
and on-site construction times. Precast concrete members
can be manufactured simultaneously with site preparations
and foundation work, then delivered just-in-time for erection.
With such a fast-track schedule, not only is the structure
erected faster, it's also finished faster. This overall
time-savings greatly impacts your bottom line by reducing
financing costs and providing an immediate return on your
investment - as well as meeting crucial parking needs.
Minimal Weather Delays
With
precast concrete parking structures, precast members can
be erected in a wide array of environmental conditions,
so weather is rarely a factor in meeting your construction
schedule. Regardless of temperature or humidity, the strength
of precast concrete is not threatened, and your project
proceeds through virtually all weather conditions.
Fewer
On-Site Labor Delays
Using High Concrete Group's precast concrete minimizes on-site
labor, so there is less risk of manpower shortages or workforce
slowdowns delaying and disrupting your construction schedule.
Easy
Site Access
When working with a relatively inaccessible site, such as
in a congested urban area, squeezing in a parking structure
poses little difficulty for experienced precast concrete
erection crews. The entire concrete superstructure can generally
be erected with one or two cranes operating from fixed positions,
often within the building footprint, thereby providing minimal
traffic disruption. In many cases, High Concrete Group has
placed precast concrete within inches of neighboring buildings.
Computerized Estimating and Budgeting
High Concrete Group is one of the few precast concrete producers
to use a customized computer system to provide estimates
and budgets for general contractors, project owners, architects
and engineers. Before a project comes up for bid, the custom-tailored
software is used to create a detailed and accurate budget
estimate for the precast portion of a parking garage project.
The system saves time, creates accountability, and desirable
results for projects of any size or scale.
