The Precast Advantage: Performance, Quality, Fast-Track Construction

Get the High Concrete Group LLC advantage working for you at every stage of your project.

Whether you’re designing a parking garage, a “Total Precast” MEGA-Span structure or simply using precast cladding components; from traditional design-bid-build projects to fast-track or turnkey delivery, High Concrete’s versatile products and systems provide countless advantages.

Outstanding Performance

  • Long spans and open plans made possible by the widest double tees in the industry
  • Inherent and superior fire resistance
  • Excellent security and impact/blast resistance
  • Great strength and durability from reinforcing, pre-stressing, or post-tensioning
  • Excellent thermal efficiency
  • Outstanding acoustic insulation
  • Weather tightness thanks to larger components that require fewer joints
  • Superior resistance to impact, soiling, mold, and mildew
  • Low maintenance and life cycle costs

Maximum Design Flexibility

The form, color, and textural flexibility of precast concrete permits an expressiveness not easily achieved with other materials.

Superior Quality

High precast is superior to on-site cast-in-place construction and conventional outdoor precast operations

  • Enclosed factory fabrication and testing in excess of PCI’s Plant Certification requirements
  • Greater impermeability and strength
  • More uniform appearance

Faster Fast-Track Construction

Factory-cast and -cured components can be assembled in extreme weather conditions, for year-round production and erection as well as fewer schedule delays

  • Single-source fabrication and erection
  • Reduces on-site labor and associated costs and manpower shortage impact
  • Eliminates the usual delays caused by multiple trades
  • Just-in-time delivery streamlines the construction process
  • Rapid installation
  • Large components can be erected quickly
  • Structural elements and enclosure are erected simultaneously
  • Earlier project delivery and occupancy

Versatile Precast Components

Any precast structure can be built from a “kit of parts”—structural and non-structural components in standard and custom shapes and sizes—that address a wide range of design requirements.

Structural Components

  • Columns and Column Tees
  • “L,” Inverted “T," and Rectangular Girders
  • Shear Walls
  • Light Walls
  • Spandrels
  • MEGA-TEES and Double Tees
  • Precast Structural Slabs
  • Wall Panels

Architectural/Nonstructural Components

  • Cladding
  • Stairs
  • Stadium Seating
  • Architectural Accessories
  • Screen Walls

Use of repetitive components leads to optimal cost effectiveness and construction speed.
