Precast Elevator Shaft FAQs
Do your shafts include a safety platform for elevator installation?
County Prestress & Precast can integrate installation safety platforms directly into the hoist-way of elevator shafts upon request. These platforms provide access to the highest stop for the electrician without the use of scaffolding.
What kind of buildings are compatible with precast concrete elevator shafts?
Precast concrete shafts are designed to accelerate the construction process for mid-rise wood framed, steel stud framed, and modular buildings.
How long does it take to erect a single precast shaft?
Our experienced team delivers and assembles the shafts with a telescoping boom manlift, eliminating the need for scaffolding. Shafts can be erected in less than one day.
Can precast shafts be erected in winter conditions?
Precast elevator shafts can be erected in many wintry conditions in the same amount of time as summer conditions.
Do precast shafts require temporary bracing?
No temporary bracing is required because the precast elements are monolithic boxes which can withstand construction wind loads due to the inherent weight and strength of the concrete mix and the permanent connections between each segment of the shaft.
