Versatile Precast Wall Systems

Experience the freedom of designing with precast.

Architectural—non-structural—cladding systems include horizontal and vertical panels and cladding add-ons such as columns, covers, and soffits for weathertight, durable, low-maintenance facades on steel frame or cast-in-place structures.

Structural wall systems include single or multi-story vertical panels. These provide an integral structure and enclosure system that can be erected economically and efficiently.

High Concrete’s precast wall systems can be used with both steel and cast-in-place structural systems. They work seamlessly with a wide range of building materials, easily incorporating brick, tile, stone, and glazing systems.

Equally suitable for interior cladding of lobbies and other public areas, our wall systems can create a variety of visual effects, ranging from the dramatic to the subtle.

Maximum Schedule Flexibility

High’s state-of-the-art precast structural or non-structural wall systems deliver

  • Rapid installation
  • Superior insulation
  • Weather-tightness

Architectural Cladding Systems and Accessories

Non-structural architectural cladding systems are available with either conventional steel or with CarbonCast™ C-GRID™ carbon fiber reinforcement.

Horizontal architectural panels

  • Support glazing or infill panel systems; carry no load from floor or roof slabs
  • Are especially economical when exterior columns are set back from building face
  • Provide insulation values of up to R-8 Vertical architectural panels
  • Run from foundation to parapet
  • Can be single- or multi-story
  • Provide insulation values of up to R-24

Column covers

  • Can be designed to match appearance of architectural panels or as contrasting design element
  • Are round, rectangular, square, or any shape you can imagine
  • Infill panels and custom panels can be manufactured to virtually any design and specification

Structural Wall Components
Horizontal spandrel panels

  • Support double tees in “Total Precast” MEGA-Span structures

Single-story load-bearing wall panels

  • Span from foundation to roof
  • Support roof structural systems such as bar joists or double tees
  • Eliminate the need for separate structural elements, for greater economy and value without sacrificing design
  • Increase usable floor space
  • Are easily moved and relocated
  • Can distribute lateral forces to
    • Reduce the load on individual connections
    • Resist wind and seismic forces

Multi-story load-bearing wall panels

  • Run from foundation to roof
  • Support double tees in “Total Precast” buildings and parking garages

Architectural Accessories

As an added service, High Concrete can supply standard or custom bollards, planters, and benches to match or complement the finishes on your precast project.

The High Economic Advantage:

Both single-story and multi-story loadbearing wall panels offer

  • Optimal savings in large projects using repetitive components
  • Greater value when insulated for special applications, such as warehouses and factories, cold-storage and food-processing facilities, airplane hangars and depots, etc.
  • Exceptional durability when CarbonCast technology is used
