Setting the Pace with Precast Elevator and Stair Shafts

Written by Admin | Dec 18, 2023

Precast concrete is favored for its inherent efficiency. Precast elevator and stair shafts can significantly accelerate the schedule of a construction project, maximizing time, labor, and financial resources.

Speedy Installation

Precast components are manufactured to specifications and inspected off-site. Arriving on-site ready to install, they can be erected quickly by small crews. County Prestress & Precast’s Elevator and Stair Shafts allow a building to be turned over to trades sooner, maximizing the project’s budget and construction schedule.

The efficiency advantages of off-site production are what enabled County Prestress & Precast to install five three-story shafts in two mobilizations in four days for the Addison Farms Luxury Apartment Homes and seven four-story shafts in four days for the Mosby Citrus Ridge complex. Compared to an average of four weeks for installation of a traditional elevator or stair shaft, the speed of precast shafts offers exceptional value to a project.

Site Efficiency

Precast elevator and stair shafts also allow for a more efficient use of space on the jobsite than traditional structures. Their off-site fabrication minimizes the number of personnel required on site, enabling smaller crews that can operate in more confined spaces. With fewer people involved, the construction site becomes more maneuverable, further streamlining the construction process.

County Prestress & Precast takes efficiency to another level by integrating installation safety platforms into the hoist-way directly. This innovation gives the electrician safe access to the highest stop in the shaft without the use of scaffolding, which takes time to set up and tear down and can be a jobsite hazard.
