APPLICATIONS OF PRECAST CONCRETE COLUMNS

Precast concrete systems serve in both urban and rural locations. Architects and engineers turn to Nitterhouse for custom precast columns that help support concrete beams and overhead structures. Precast columns are typically square or rectangular in shape, which allows them to stand in a vertical fashion.

Builders often choose precast concrete columns to bring the following multilevel structures to life:

PARKING GARAGES

Precast concrete columns help to allow construction crews to build parking structures next to preexisting structures.

APARTMENT COMPLEXES

Multilevel apartment buildings can use a column and beam system to gain open space for common areas such as lobbies, work out areas, pools and meeting rooms. Architectural finishes can also be applied to columns to compliment other material finishes within these spaces.

INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURES

The fire-resistant qualities of precast columns make these designs suitable for various industrial applications. You can place column configurations near heavy-duty machines and with properly designed connections you will not have much worry about fasteners loosening over time.
