In contrast with cast-in-situ concrete construction, where the concrete is cast in the onsite location, precast concrete construction has concrete being cast in an offsite location like a casting yard or a factory and then brought to the site location and fixed securely. It is a prefabricated concrete construction that consists of separate pieces of concrete being assembled and connected together.  Precast concrete is often preferred when large numbers of identical components need to be produced, like creating wall slabs and floor slabs in identical apartments in an affordable housing project. Since the construction work is done at ground level and not at the actual height of the construction, there is more safety at work and risk of accidents is greatly reduced. Production in an offsite location also helps the precast construction company to exert control over factors like rain, heat and dust so that the curing of the concrete can be completed in a controlled environment. Precast concrete construction enables construction to be completed much faster than in conventional cast-in-situ construction, where a particular set of components can be built only after the previous set has finished (which could typically take upto 28 days to reach full strength). Some of the common uses of this type of construction is to produce large-panel systems, frame systems, slab-column systems with walls or mixed systems using a few different systems together.

We are a  precast construction company. At Steelion, precast concrete is prepared, cast and cured off-site, in a controlled factory environment with reusable moulds and then joined to other elements to form a complete structure. We use precast concrete construction for structural components such as wall panels, beams, columns, floors, staircases, pipes and tunnels because their tough exterior can  hold up to all types of weather. Prefabricated concrete construction is a more economical, and sometimes more practical, alternative to structural steel frames and many buildings now include a mix of both the construction techniques. As part of our prefab Hybrid Composite Technology (HCT), the precast concrete construction is further strengthened by Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) to ensure that the buildings are strong and durable.
