Precast Facade and Post Tensioned Slabs

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

To reduce its carbon footprint, this contractor has implemented precast facades made with low carbon emission concrete, minimising embodied carbon.

These use post tensioned (PT) slabs, which require less reinforcement and allow for thinner slab construction, reducing material usage and overall emissions.

This contributes significantly to sustainable construction and align with the project’s carbon reduction targets.

These methods reflect a forward thinking, sustainable construction strategy that aligns with modern carbon reduction goals.
