Precast Concrete Shafts Maximize Construction Site Efficiency

Written by Admin | Jul 18, 2023

County Prestress & Precast's Stair and Elevator Shafts offer significant advantages in maximizing site efficiency during the construction of mid-rise commercial and residential buildings.

Precast concrete shafts promote cleaner construction sites. Manufactured to precise specifications offsite, shafts are delivered ready for installation. Eliminating on-site fabrication helps minimize dust, debris, and waste and promotes a safer and more organized working environment.

The installation of precast shafts also requires fewer personnel, allowing smaller crews to work in tighter spaces. Unlike traditional construction methods that involve multiple trades and coordination, precast components are designed and engineered for efficient installation. With fewer people involved, the construction site becomes more flexible, allowing for improved maneuverability and optimized use of available space.

Additionally, County Prestress & Precast's Elevator Shafts integrate installation safety platforms directly into the hoist-way. This innovation eliminates the need for scaffolding or temporary stairs, further enhancing site efficiency. Workers can access different levels of the shaft using the integrated safety platforms, minimizing the time and effort required for additional installations and removing potential safety hazards associated with traditional temporary structures.

The enhanced efficiency of precast shafts can improve construction site safety and accelerate construction timelines, resulting in time and cost savings.
