(a)

Hollowcore is an innovative prestressed concrete product where the

manufacturing process involves the inclusion of pre-designed holes

instead of producing a solid slab.

This product is manufactured under the strictest of factory conditions

which ensures high quality and strength. Hollowcore slabs range in

thickness from 4” to 12” and are typically used for structural flooring and

hoLLo

wCo

re

roof applications however, it also offers an economic and versatile solution

in any type of building construction.

In addition to its range in thickness, hollowcore can also be produced in

different shapes and carry openings for conduits, inclusive of electrical,

plumbing and air-conditioning according to design specifications.

hoLLowCore can span long areas allowing for large, open interiors

without obstructions. The long span of these units diminish the requirement

of supporting columns and beams.

hoLLowCore floors offer minimal down time on site with each slab

requiring on average 10 to 15 minutes to install.

Once the hollowcore slabs have been secured, they become the working

surface for other trades.

sLabs are cut to lengths suitable to the building design, resulting in speedy

construction and reduced cost for the client.

hoLLowCore slabs are fire resistant and do not burn or give off lethal

fumes.

hoLLowCore slabs offer good sound dissipation due to their high rigity.

hoLLowCore is cooler and easily facilitates ventilation resulting in

reduced energy costs and additional savings.

hoLLowCore lowers maintenance costs and in some instances insurance

rates.

We are committed to ensuring high quality and as such our products

are manufactured under the continuous supervision of our Quality

Control Department to ensure the quality and dimensional accuracy is

maintained.

The manufacturing process begins with a series of test by our team of

Quality Assurance Technicians on the raw materials, to ensure they comply

with specifications. Complete records are maintained in accordance with

our Quality Control procedures to enable full tracking of each individual

element from design stage, to manufacture and installation on site.

Our mixing plant is fully automated and we have invested in innovative

batching components. With the addition of two conveyors, increased

aggregate storage capacity and dedicated handling controls, we have

experienced increases in productivity. All of our batching equipment has

been custom designed for our operation.

We erected our plant to initially produce precast on a large steel bed

measuring 70m long x 7m wide however, the decision to diversify our

product range saw the introduction of an Extruder Line to produce

hollowcore.

Over the years, we have undergone further development with the inclusion

of a Spancrete Plant, a (flying rabbit to transport the concrete mix) and a

circulation plant with twenty-four (24) production pallets measuring 13m

x 4m that circle vertically.

The plant is fully automated and each stage monitored by our experienced

staff. All of our technological advances have allowed for an increase in

efficiency and we are more than equipped to satisfy the needs of each

customer.

Preconco has based our operation around the customers’

requirements. From the design stages to installation, we utilize

our expertise, equipment and highly skilled work force to produce

concrete components that are of the highest standard.

Our Engineers are readily available to meet

with you to ensure your expectations are met.

DeLivery serviCe

We use our ultra-modern fleet of vehicles to deliver products to site

and provide specialty vehicles if access to the area is compromised

or otherwise restricted. We recently invested in our customized flat

racks which allow for slabs to be transported vertically, ideal for

both inland freight and exports.

instaLLation

Preconco employs fully trained personnel to handle and install

precast and prestressed concrete elements in accordance to the

industry’s code of practice for safe installation.

Prior to installation, all sites are visited by our expert Installations

Management Team. It is our standard operating policy to first

discuss and agree upon all access, sequence of work and safety

aspects, and incorporate these into our installation method.
