Precast Structures Edmonton

Here at Lafarge Precast Edmonton we incorporate a wide variety of components in precast structures, below are some of the products that we utilize in our total precast systems.

 

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 is available for creating the perfect system to achieve the 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 is that these 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 any 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
