PRECAST CONCRETE BUILDING SYSTEMS

As a leading innovator in the manufacturing industry, we specialize in producing prefabricated concrete construction systems that are an ideal solution for a broad range of projects and applications. Our precast concrete building panels and related products provide a strong, flexible and versatile building material for commercial and residential projects. From impressive durability, fire resistance and sound/vibration attenuating characteristics to easy installation and lower maintenance requirements, precast concrete building systems deliver numerous advantages over other conventional products.

UNDERSTANDING PRECAST CONCRETE STRUCTURES

For those unfamiliar with the concrete industry, not all materials install in the same fashion. Precast concrete structures are molded and produced off-site and then delivered to a specific job site location, saving time and setup required to pour concrete mixtures on site. Prefabricated concrete construction methods date as far back as the 1950s, with professional installers assembling walls, columns & beams or platforms piece by piece to create an efficient structural system.

Builders and project managers rely on prefabricated concrete construction for quick turnarounds, accuracy and less waste compared to poured on-site solutions that are not cast under controlled conditions. There are countless applications for precast concrete structures, ranging from the transportation industry to public schools and universities. If you’re looking for a tailored solution for your upcoming assignment, Nitterhouse Concrete Products is here to make your dream a reality.

The idea of using precast concrete for construction purposes exists around the world. Aside from residential and commercial buildings, our methods and technology are used for bridges, foundations, catch basins, retaining walls, culverts and beyond.
