Precast concrete structures Alberta

Here at Lafarge Precast Edmonton we design, engineer, produce and install a wide variety of precast components for a wide variety of precast structures, below are some of the products that we utilize in our total precast systems and structures.

 

Beams and Columns
Precast structures offer tremendous advantages and value for commercial buildings. The use of precast columns and beams in precast structures make for an ideal framework for hanging precast panels, creating a design that offers fast construction, structural stability, and enhanced fire resistance. A wide range of options are available for creating the perfect size and shape of commercial building required.

 

 

Shear Wall Panels

Some precast structures require Shear wall panels, these are the structural solution of choice for many office buildings, high-rise residential, institutional facilities, and mixed-use retail projects of all types. A key reason being that precast shear wall panels provide for structural stability to structures exposed to heavy wind and seismic loads.  

 

 

Double Tees
Precast structural double tees provide excellent roof and flooring units, spanning considerable distances and providing quick erection to close in a structure faster. In some cases, they also can be used as wall panels on low-rise commercial buildings, creating distinctive designs that require little maintenance and offer fire resistance and durability as with architectural wall panels.

 

 

Hollow Core Planks
Precast structural hollowcore flooring units provide long spans with cross sections that reduce the height of the building, saving material cost, and their inorganic composition enhances fire protection. The Lafarge sales team can help determine which sizes, shapes, and styles of components will best suit your individual commercial building project. Bringing our team into the planning early in the design process will help ensure that the precast components are aesthetically appealing, functional, and cost effective.

 

 

 

Spandrel Panels
Typically used in conjunction with precast columns and double tees in parking garages and in total precast building shell construction; various architectural finishes available to meet design objectives. Precast spandrels are often used on precast structures like parkades.

 

 

 

Columns

Used in parking structures, office buildings, and other structures to carry floor and roof structure loads as required; various architectural finishes available to complement other building components. Structural precast columns can be designed and engineered to achieve significant loads.
