The building structure is a critical component for both durability and the safety of its occupants. That’s why HUS, a brand under Piboon Concrete Co., Ltd., utilizes a precast structural system manufactured to factory standards by Piboon Concrete. The company is ISO 9001 certified and has collaborated with research teams from multiple universities to rigorously test and validate the structural integrity and long-term durability of its buildings.
Precast Structure
This system uses precast columns and beams as the main load-bearing components of the building. Each element is custom-manufactured in a controlled factory environment to the required size and length, with internal reinforcement for added strength. These components are then transported and installed on-site. The use of precast structural systems accelerates construction, ensures consistent quality, and minimizes issues typically encountered with on-site work.
Advantages of Precast Column-Beam Structures
1. Faster Construction Precast structures significantly reduce on-site construction time since all components are pre-manufactured in the factory and ready for immediate installation on-site
2. High Quality and Precision Factory-controlled production ensures better quality and adherence to standards compared to traditional on-site concrete casting. This results in stronger and more durable structures.
3. Reduced On-Site Labor Precast installation requires less on-site labor than conventional construction methods, helping to minimize the risk of workplace accidents.
Bearing Wall
Precast concrete walls are made from reinforced concrete, offering strength and durability. They are cast in a factory to the specified dimensions and thickness required to support building loads. Openings for doors, windows, and other features are integrated according to the design. Reinforcement bars are strategically placed within each panel to effectively resist tension, torsion, and shear forces.
The panels are connected on-site by welding protruding reinforcement bars from each unit together. Concrete is then poured at the connection points to create a seamless and unified structure.
Advantages of Load-Bearing Precast Wall Structures
1. Fast Construction Using precast wall panels significantly shortens construction time, as components are manufactured in the factory and quickly installed on-site.
2. High Quality and Precision Factory-made components meet high-quality standards. Controlled production reduces construction errors compared to on-site concrete casting.
3. Strength and Durability Load-bearing walls are internally reinforced, making them highly capable of handling various loads and forces.
4. Flexible Design Since precast concrete walls eliminate the need for interior columns, they maximize usable space and allow for greater flexibility in interior design.
