Our Prestressed and Precast Concrete Design and Installation Service

  • Agriculture

    Grain and Crop Storage

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    A well-designed crop store will protect the crop from damp and vermin, be robust enough to withstand the knocks from out loading machinery, and flexible enough to adapt to changing demands on the farm business.

    Silage Storage

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    A well designed silage clamp can protect the environment and provide massive savings by reducing wastage, improving silage quality and allowing you to feed the ideal ration every day.

    Manure and Slurry Storage

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    A  precast concrete storage system is an ideal solution to effectively manage slurry storage, whether you are looking to construct a slurry store (slurry tank) above ground, partially below or fully below ground, open or enclosed.

    General Walling

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    A very popular farm wall solution, these concrete wall panels are ideal for the construction of cattle feed barriers, livestock housing from poultry to giraffes and from fully slatted to deep litter systems. These panels are also ideal for general purpose buildings such as machinery sheds & workshops as well as in the construction of dairy and parlour walls.

     

  • Protection

    Firewalls and Blast Walls

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    Precast Concrete is the ideal solution for Firewalls to ensure buildings are safely evacuated in the event of a fire as well as protecting key areas that contain business-critical items. Blast Walls are designed to contain and protect buildings, equipment and people from the effects of a nearby explosion, fire or impact following an industrial incident, terrorism etc.

    Also known as bunding are retaining walls constructed around storage areas where flammable, toxic and hazardous materials/liquids are handled, processed or stored.

    Security Walls

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    The robust nature of precast concrete walls makes them ideal for security purposes including boundary perimeter walls, secure compound walls, retail and warehouse walls to provide protection from unlawful intrusion, theft, vandalism and attack.

  • Retaining Walls

    An effective and durable storage solution is important when handling and storing bulk commodities/materials. Our Precast Concrete Wall Panels provide a versatile, robust storage solution for bulk materials in single or multi store facilities.

    Our robust, durable precast concrete panels make the ideal solution for the construction of storage bunkers providing effective separation of a wide range of raw materials such as sand, aggregates & woodchip and recycling waste such as glass and tyres.

    Also known as ‘push walls’ or ‘thrust walls' our Precast Concrete retaining wall system provides the ideal solution to meet the high demands at these sites for perimeter or divisional walls within new, existing or refurbished buildings. They provide a durable and low maintenance solution along with fast installation.

  • Tanks

    Underground Storage

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    Offer a wide range of advantages compared to above ground tank solutions. One advantage is that precast tanks can be fully or partially buried, to improve the overall visual appearance and so that the occupation of valuable land space can be minimised.

    Attenuation Tanks

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    With it's high strength, durability and low maintenance requirements precast concrete is the ideal material for the construction of large rainwater storage tanks.  The tank can be buried completely below ground minimising the visual impact as well as freeing up the land for other uses (subject to designed load restrictions).

  • House Floors

    Suspended Floor Construction is a ground floor structure with a void beneath the structure to allow air flow and ventilation, so the floor does not sit directly on the ground. Our prestressed concrete floors are a cost-effective solution due to concrete’s durable and robust properties. It is also generally weather independent and one of the benefits is it's ease, precision and speed of construction on site.

    Suspended Floor Construction is increasingly the most popular choice. Consisting of prestresssed concrete floor planks or slabs, with our Block and Beam Floors being the most common, concrete floors are a cost-effective solution due to concrete’s durable and robust properties. One of the benefits is it's ease, precision and speed of construction on site

  • Earth Retaining

    Robust, durable and made to measure, our precast concrete retaining wall panels are the perfect choice for buildings with raised floors or dock pits or where constructed on sloping or uneven sites it is often necessary to have walls below the floor level to retain the fill required to achieve a level floor in the building.

    King Post Walls

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    Our walls are a popular temporary or permanent retaining wall system used for structural applications. Also known as Soldier Piles or Lagging Walls or Berlin Walls they are often used for retaining earth for flood defences, embankments, deep excavations and security.

    Self Supporting

    VIEW PRODUCT OPTIONS

    With its high strength, durability and low maintenance requirements Precast Concrete is the best choice for standalone earth retaining walls. Designed to rely on its own self-weight plus backfill on the foundation to stand up and retain the soil behind it. Our precast walls provide a boundary to accommodate changes in ground level making them ideal for reprofiling of sloping sites.

  • Recycling and Renewable

    Waste takes many forms from general and organic waste to recycling such as glass, plastic, tyres and paper. The correct storage and separation of these materials is critical to the successful onward processing. Our Precast Concrete retaining wall system provides the ideal solution to meet the high demands at these sites for perimeter or divisional walls within new, existing or refurbished buildings.

    Designed to provide temporary or permanent solutions for either single or multi bunkers in a yard area or within a building, our robust, durable precast concrete panels make the ideal solution providing effective separation of a wide range of raw materials such as sand, aggregates & woodchip and recycling waste such as glass and tyre

     A well designed silage clamp can protect the environment and provide massive savings by reducing wastage, improving silage quality and allowing you to feed the ideal ration every day.

    AD Bund walls are retaining walls constructed around storage areas where flammable, toxic and hazardous materials/liquids are handled, processed or stored. Precast concrete is becoming an increasingly popular choice in the construction of bund walls or bunding. This is due to its versatility and reliability, but also is a simple ‘water-tight’ and cost-effective solution.

    When considering a biomass storage solution, sufficient storage is required due to the seasonal nature of production versus the need to produce energy all year round. Storage and handling of biomass fuels is expensive and increases with capacity. The right solution such as precast concrete walls can greatly affect the cost and the efficiency in maintaining high quality biomass fuel.

  • Office & Commercial Floors

    Precast Concrete is highly versatile product which has a wide range of efficient and cost-effective solutions; therefore, making it an obvious choice in the construction of Industrial, Commercial and Office buildings, car parks and other projects / applications. Suspended Floor Construction using our Block and Beam Floors being the most common due to concrete’s durable and robust properties.

    Suspended Floor Construction consisting of precast concrete floor planks or slabs, with our Block and Beam Floors being the most common. Our precast concrete floors are a cost-effective solution due to concrete’s durable and robust properties. One of the benefits is it's ease, precision and speed of construction on site.

    Mezzanine are a popular solution when looking to optimise or create additional floor space or storage within a warehouse, factory, office or retail business. Our Suspended Floor Construction consisting of precast concrete floor planks or slabs, with our Block and Beam Flooring being the most common.
