Hollowcore: Building Smarter, Stronger, and Faster

Jun 25, 2025

Engineered Strength for Demanding Applications

County Prestress & Precast's hollowcore planks are redefining structural performance in modern construction. Designed for strength, speed of installation, and versatility, hollowcore systems are a trusted solution for a wide range of building types - from municipal and educational facilities to industrial and commercial developments. Their high performance strength enables longer spans, reduced structural depth, and faster installation, making them a preferred choice for projects where time, space, and durability are critical.

Structural Efficiency Meets Design Flexibility

Hollowcore planks are manufactured with high-strength, prestressed concrete, allowing them to span up to 44 feet. This capability reduces the need for additional columns or beams, creating open, flexible interior spaces that meet the evolving needs of today’s building designs. The planks’ inherent strength also supports heavy live loads, making them ideal for applications such as parking structures, mezzanines, and multi-story buildings.

In addition to their structural advantages, hollowcore systems offer design flexibility. Their modular nature allows for integration with other building systems, while their smooth underside provides a clean, finished appearance that can be left exposed or easily finished to meet aesthetic goals.

Speed, Safety, and Sustainability

The high performance strength of hollowcore contributes to accelerated construction timelines. Manufactured off-site and delivered ready to install, the planks reduce on-site labor and minimize weather-related delays. This efficiency not only shortens project schedules but also enhances jobsite safety by reducing the need for extensive formwork and scaffolding.

From a sustainability perspective, hollowcore systems support green building initiatives. Their long spans and reduced material usage contribute to resource efficiency, while their thermal mass properties can help regulate indoor temperatures, improving energy performance over the life of the building.

A Proven Solution for Modern Construction

County Prestress & Precast's hollowcore planks are backed by decades of proven performance and engineering expertise. Their high strength and reliability make them a smart investment for projects that demand structural integrity, speed, and long-term value. Whether used in public infrastructure, commercial developments, or industrial facilities, hollowcore delivers the strength to build with confidence.
