Precast Insulated Wall Panels are Preferred for Industrial Construction

Written by Admin | Jul 24, 2024

Precast insulated wall panels from County Prestress & Precast offer many advantages for industrial construction. Designed with two layers of prestressed concrete that “sandwich” a layer of insulation, they are a high-performance material that provides energy efficiency, durability, and a low life cycle cost. Along with the inherent design benefits, insulated wall panels are manufactured to specification and transported to your building site, ready to install. With their many benefits, it’s clear why insulated wall panels are the preferred building envelope solution for industrial construction. 

Our Process from the Ground Up

County Prestress & Precast manufactures prestressed wall panels up to 15’ wide and 65’ long. The controlled environment of our PCI-certified production facilities ensures greater consistency and quality. During production, reinforcement (such as rebar or mesh) can be added to increase the panel strength, and various architectural finishes, textures, or patterns can be added.

A Boost to the Bottom Line

Because our insulated wall panels are manufactured offsite in a climate-controlled facility, they can be produced year-round. Using precast wall panels can shorten construction timelines because site preparation and building envelope production can occur simultaneously. Insulated wall panels can be produced in large quantities, and installation requires smaller crews than other building envelope systems. They can act as both exterior and interior walls without any additional finishing work or insulation. The elimination of staging locations to cure or cut the panels saves space on the construction site. As a result, construction schedules can be shortened, and more projects can be completed in less time. 

Long-Lasting Performance

Insulated wall panels offer substantial cost savings throughout their service life. They are manufactured to achieve specified R-values, which can be adjusted to accommodate the needs of a particular project to maximize energy and cost efficiency. The high-performance panels exhibit exceptional resistance to fire, wind, and forklift damage. Their durability, installation efficiency, lasting performance, and low operating costs add up to long-term savings.
