Why Precast Concrete is Built to Last: Durability, Maintenance, and Long-Term Value
During manufacturing, panels and beams are typically constructed using high-strength concrete, measured in its pounds per square inch (psi) compressive strength. When constructing precast insulated wall panels, for example, pre-tensioning strands are tensioned to 65 to 70 percent of their ultimate strength before the concrete is poured.
