Advantages

alfanar Precast structural and architectural elements offer several advantages over competing materials:

Durability

The lasting benefits of alfanar Precast concrete are inherent; high strength, high density, quality controlled precast concrete is superior to other building products for durability, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, fire resistance, security and long lasting low maintenance. alfanar precast produces special boundary walls which are designed to resist blasting; our buildings are engineered to last for generations to come, that is a lifespan of over 100 years.

Economy

Standard structural shapes such as hollowcore, double tees, beams, girders, columns and panels can be mass-produced at low cost. Where custom-engineered products are desired, careful design work can assure maximum economies of scale through repetitious casting.

Long Spans/Heavy Loads

High quality plant cast/controlled concrete produced with optimum curing conditions translate to a high strength, high quality product increasing load capacities and resulting in more efficient sections.

Design Flexibility

The combination of standard structural shapes (double-tees, hollowcore, etc.) and the capability of casting custom shapes give designers maximum flexibility. Economies of scale can be achieved through repetition while the inherent plasticity of concrete allows for unique shapes.

Speed of Construction

Precast/prestressed concrete lends itself to compressed construction schedules. Components are manufactured off-site, allowing for a just-in-time delivery system. Speedy construction means earlier completion dates which equals earlier occupancy.

Aesthetic

Precast concrete panels offer a wide range of styles. Panels can be produced in a variety of colors, textures and finishes providing an almost endless range of aesthetic options. With literally hundreds of aggregate types, shapes, sizes and colors to choose from, alfanar Precast can provide architectural panels with a wealth of distinctive and unusual colors and textures that could not be achieved with any other material.

Quality Assurance

One important measure of building quality is strict adherence to the design specifications. With other construction methods, variable site conditions can create the possibility of 'adjustments' or 'short-cuts' during construction. With precast, quality is controlled under factory conditions.
