Precast technology involves molding concrete structural elements like columns, beams, and walls in a reusable mold in a factory. This allows for higher quality control compared to on-site casting. VME Precast is an Indian company that has established a precast factory in Chennai to provide precast solutions for buildings. Precast construction has several advantages over traditional casting including strength, durability, weather resistance, cost savings, and environmental friendliness.

2. Advantages of
Precast
Technology

3. Moulding the future

4. Future has arrived
 Future is Precast technology
 Environment friendly
 High strength
 High longevity makes future serene, safe and
satisfying

5. What’s Precast
Technology
Precast technology is a process
through which various elements
of a building including
columns, beams, wall panels and
roof slabs is precast by pouring
concrete into a reusable
mold, cured and quality checked
in a factory and then transported
to the construction site and lifted
into place as opposed to standard
concrete which is poured on-site
into specific forms

6.  VME Precast has set up
India’s first state-of –the-art
Precast plant in
Oragadam, one of the fastest
growing industrial centers in
Chennai
 VME Group is a company that has been doing large
infrastructure projects like building bridges, flyovers for the
past 20 years and has successfully completed over 20 major
and minor bridges for Highways and Railways using Precast
Technology

7.  To extend the same technology and
improve the quality of construction in
Residential, Commercial, and
Industrial buildings VME Group has
started ventured into VME Precast
 VME Precast takes up turn-key
projects from the structural
design, production, logistics to the
erection of Precast elements

8. Quality Control
 In a precast plant concrete
produced is immediately cast in the
moulds thereby ensuring high grade
of concrete strength
 It is properly cured and closely
monitored by professionals
 Common post construction
issues like
cracks, leakage, dampness are
avoided in precast construction

9. Environment Friendliness
 30 to 40% savings in energy
 Reduce energy consumption
 Minimal dust, waste, less debris are
left behind the process
 Recycled precast concrete can also be
used as aggregate in new structures
 Fewer trucks, less manpower, less time
makes environment friendly choice

10. Strength
 High grade concrete mix
proportions are casted
 Due to high strength of the concrete
grade the size of columns, beams, wall
panels can be reduced
 Also it ensures substantial savings in
the foundation cost for any high rise
buildings as the dead loads of the
structures are considerably reduced
due to smaller sections

11. Weather Independence
 Precast concrete increases efficiency
because weather will not delay
production
 Weather will not affect the job site due
to less time to install precast
 Precast concrete can be easily installed
on demand and immediately backfilled

12. Weather Resistance
 Precast concrete gets actually stronger
if the un-hydrated cement particles in it
react with water
 Can withstand climatic changes
 Precast concrete is appropriate for all
weather conditions

13. Durability
 Precast concrete elements improves
construction quality and thus extends
the life cycle span of buildings
 Service life is more than 100 years
 Precast concrete buildings can be
further extended by using additional
design options as well

14. Chemical Resistance
 Precast concrete products can be
designed to withstand most common
corrosive agents
 Since high grade concrete are used it is
highly resistance to corrosion
 Thus it is no wonder precast products
are most preferred for highly corrosive
zones

15. Fire Resistance
 Precast concrete is one of the few non-
combustible building materials
 Also concrete does not lose its
structural capacity nearly as quickly as
steel
 Performs very well even in elevated
temperatures

16. Water Tightness
 Products are produced in quality
controlled environment coated with
high quality sealants
 Precast concrete has proven to be far
superior to conventional building
materials
 Standard watertight sealants are
specially formulated to adhere to
precast concrete

17. Insulation
 Precast sandwich panels have an
insulated membrane between two
concrete layers which reduces huge
heat transmission
 Precast concrete has excellent
insulation properties, which can be
enhanced with embedded sandwich
panels
 Reduces power consumption to cool or
heat the interiors

18. Earthquake Resistance
 Connection techniques ensure that
buildings aren’t structurally damaged
by an earthquake, allowing them to
reopen quickly after a fairly high
magnitude earthquake
 Precast concrete can meet any seismic
zone’s requirements
 Precast systems allow the building to
flex with earthquake force and then pull
it back to its original position

19. High Aesthetics
 It is incredibly responsive to the
designer’s needs as it can be shaped in
a cost effective manner
 The only limits are imagination and
creativity
 Design flexibility is possible in both color
and texture

20. Efficiency
 Precast concrete arrive at the jobsite
ready to install
 No need to order raw materials
 Since products are done at factory
wastages are reduced considerably up-
to 50%

21. Low Maintenance
 Since the products are made under
stringent control with precise
installations maintenance cost is less
 This ensures a considerable savings on
maintenance costs making it ideal for
both commercial and residential
projects
 This proves maintenance cost is less
