Whether you’re designing an all or mostly precast structure or simply using precast cladding components, from traditional design-bid-build projects to fast-track or turnkey delivery, High’s precast concrete products — including the innovative, lighter weight, thermally efficient CarbonCast line of C-GRID reinforced precast products—offer important advantages and enable countless architectural design opportunities.
Design Freedom
- Brighter, more open and flexible interiors because longer spans and more open plans are made possible by precast deck systems
- Virtually unlimited options of color, texture, and form
Outstanding Performance
- Safe Inherently superior fire resistance
- Secure Excellent security and impact/blast resistance and great structural strength and durability from reinforcing, pre-stressing, or post-tensioning concrete
- Environmentally friendly High thermal efficiency
- Quiet Outstanding acoustic insulation and isolation
- Mold and mildew resistant Weather-tight enclosures form larger impermeable components that require fewer joints
- Durable Superior resistance to abuses of man and nature such as impact and soil, mold, and mildew
- Economical Low maintenance and life cycle costs
Superior Quality
- Consistent results Controlled batching and enclosed factory fabrication, under controlled conditions that exceed PCI’s Plant Certification requirements
- Superior to on-site cast-in-place construction and conventional outdoor precast operations
- Greater impermeability and strength
- Concrete mixes with low water/cement ratios are enabled by factory-controlled batching and immediate placement of concrete to yield higher strength mixes—averaging 7,000 psi or more
- Precisely controlled air entrainment also results in minimal expansion and contraction and reduced cracking and surface scaling
