The pre-stressing of concrete produces high strength tension within the product. This inert strength means considerably less concrete is needed to achieve maximum load results. Direct saving on materials is not the only benefit of using less concrete. Products are lighter making them more manageable and this reduction in bulk means less transportation costs. Pre-stressed products also create energy efficient builds that provides resistance to fire and high levels of thermal and sound insulation. Our machines are fully operational outside and can be run by a team as small as 2 people, this means...
