BEAMS

Precast RCC/Pre-stressed beams are advantageous for fast constructions as no propping of beams are required. There is no need for expensive on-site formwork and flexibility with design is also possible. The main advantage of a precast beam structure is that it permits less structural depth for a given load-bearing capacity. Precast beams are manufactured in a variety of sizes, shapes and lengths. The concrete surface is smooth and the edges are chamfered.

DESIGN BENEFITS

Long spans, column spacing can be increased
Low beam depths, thus higher floor to ceiling heights can be achieved.
Holes can be provided in the beams to run service utility lines.

CONSTRUCTION BENEFITS

Very high grade of concrete can be achieved in factory environment
Pre-stressed beams can be cast for long spans and low depths
Beams need not be propped and can be loaded immediately after erection
Heavy loading can be done on pre-stressed beams
