High Advantage - Innovation

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
