With the growth of the sector of civil construction, some types of concrete were developed to adapt to new demands. The correct use of this material offers many advantages for architectural design. Precast concrete, which replaces conventional, casted on site, has the function of improving construction processes and increasing productivity, reducing costs.
This type of construction process is quite versatile and can be used in residential, commercial and industrial works, such as slabs, pillars, beams, cladding and walls. In addition, it reduces the waste of materials in construction sites and minimizes the risks of damage to the structure, making it the most efficient and economical solution.
In this post, we will explain how precast concrete can be used and how quality products can influence the result of the work. Check it out!
O concrete precast is a structure manufactured in advance, according to the construction model defined in the project, and ready to be embedded in the work. Through this process, precast concrete structures and other parts can be developed, such as 3D coatings, athermal floors, hydraulic tiles and concrete blocks.
To produce these elements, the concrete is placed in a mold that undergoes a curing procedure in a controlled area. This process increases the speed and productivity of the work, since the structures are manufactured outside the construction site, and aims to guarantee the quality and efficiency of the parts.
For manufacturing, it is necessary to follow the guidelines of the Brazilian Technical Standards Association (ABNT). A NBR 9062:2017 determines the basic requirements for the development of the project, for the execution and control of the structures.
To protect precast parts over the years, it is important to invest in technologies for their protection. For this purpose, there are specific hydrophobic additives for precast concrete that protect them against the action of water, without changing their visual characteristics.
A Blok possesses water repellents for precast concrete of frontage and flooring, which guarantee the high durability of the structure, in addition to preventing the accumulation of dirt over the years.

Tips for those who work with precast concrete
To ensure construction quality, it is essential to have a reliable company and qualified professionals. Ensuring the safety of the work is essential to avoid accidents and to allow the entire process to be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the legislation.
Give preference to equipment and materials that are not flammable, such as water-based mold release agents. Isolate the entire work area to avoid curious people and reduce the risk of accidents. Keep all spaces on the construction site clean and organized to minimize losses and waste. In addition, use quality materials in construction to ensure durability and safety for the building.
The importance of quality products
Os construction materials ensure the quality and useful life of the building. In order for them to be suitable for use, it is essential that these supplies are resistant and safe. In this way, it is possible to guarantee productivity and speed for the work. Quality products reduce the chances of inconvenience, damage, and delays in the construction process. Precast materials minimize risks, increase the durability of the structure, and are the most economical option for civil construction.
The use of superplasticizer is essential to obtain high-quality premolds. Blok has superplasticizing additives which can be used both in traditional works and in precast structures. O BlokGraute Pro+ it is a superplasticizing additive for mortars and concrete that guarantees high performance of the final product.
Therefore, there are several benefits of using precast concrete in construction. In addition to being a low-cost material, it guarantees faster delivery of work on time. To do this, use quality products and count on trained professionals to carry out the work.
