From the sketch
Why chose Precast / Prestress? 27
From the sketch to the precast concrete complete wall.
At the start, there is the idea.
? How to develop that onto the building?
At the start, there is the idea.
? How to develop that onto the building?
CAD drawings are developed. These are converted to 3D models for approval.
Drawings are converted to CNC software
CNC Milling machines work 24 hours a day cutting the design onto timber to give perfect replica.
CNC work completion.
The master model surface is sealed. To create large panels several parts can be joined together.
Master mould is framed. Constant quality checks ensure perfect results.
Finished master is sprayed or brush coated with release agent.
Liquid Polyurathane Rubber is poured onto the master and allowed to self level avoiding air entrapment.
Back surface is leveled.
After 24 hours the liner can be removed. A tube is used to roll the liner and avoid stress to the new liner.
Before the liners are delievered final QC checks are made The liners are cut to size.
Form liner Liners are glued to the production table. Glue Production table
Release Agent is applied and allowed to dry. Now precast concrete casting can start. Concrete Stripping wax Production Table
So from the simple sketch
From simple patterns

rom Everyday aterials
Unbelievable, but Precast Concrete! One off designs
Unbelievable but Precast Concrete!
Design is recreated
And casted in Precast Concete
History is preserved.

Photo Engraving Form-liners
A picture is changed into 256 shades of gray. The computer coverts the info in a CAD milling programme.
No paint here, Just shadow.
Creating Images on Precast Concrete using Surface Retarders
Photo concrete slides are special plastic films treated with a Precast Concrete Surface Retarder
Photo- Precast Concrete Sheets do not require Release Agent

Precast Concrete Stains
Stain OR Paint?
Benefits of choosing stain:- Penetrating - will NOT mask surface texture Water Repellent Durable 25 year Warranty Water-Based Low VOC Content No peeling, fading or frequent maintenance Mould and Fungus Resistant
Easy Application Roller/Brush onsite or precast manufacturing appied
Great Results
Entire building can be stained in as little as a few days Or Even better done on a controlled Environment
A long-term maintenance solution for property owners
