MANUFACTURING OF PRECAST COMPONENT FORMS

CONCRETING:
1.Check the concrete grade used is
according to design specifications
2.Conduct slump test to access the
workabilty of the concrete mix
before placing the concrete to the
mould.
3.The drop height of the concrete mix
should not exceed more than 1m.
4.Proper vibration and compaction
should be carried out on particular,
in more congestion area.
5.Form vibrator can be used for slender
and thin elements.
6.Spreading and levelling of concrete
surface level after initial set.
7. Maintain the required thickness by
use of screeder.
8.Use of power trowel /float is
recommended for smooth surface
finishes.

CURING:
1.Observe adequate curing time and desired
environment.
2.Concrete cubes should be subjected to the
same curing conditions as the precast
concrete elements.
DEMOULDING:
1.Depending on the anchor length of inserts
and type of precast elements for eg. Thin
floor slabs,the minimum concrete strength
required may be higher to overcome the
suction and frictional during demoulding.
2.Cubes test to be conducted to verify the
concrete strength of elements before
demoulding.
3.As a general guide,ensure that the concrete
strengths attained for reinforced precast
elements and prestressed precast
elements are minimum 10 N/mm2 or 25
N/mm2 respectively.
4.Loosen and remove all bolts and pins and
end and side mould forms before lifting.
5.pre-stressed elements,cut strands before
lifting.

FINAL
INSPECTION/TRANSFER TO
STORAGE YARD:
1.Check the condition of the
finished products.
2.Verify the critical dimention.
3.Proper identification
markings should be placed
on elements showing the
location, member type,
size, weight and orientation
as per shop drawings.
4.Check the elements have
achieved 75% of their
design concrete strength
before delivery to site for
erection.

DRY CASTING PROCESS(EXTRUSION
METHOD):
The dry casting or extruding method is
mainly used to produce hollow core
slab or wall panels.
BASE MOULD CLEANING AND
PREPARATION:
1.Check that the base mould is clean and free
from debris and old mortars.
2.Check that the extrusion machine including
the vibrator are in good working condition.
3.Form release agent released should have
anti-rust properties and be relatively dry
after application so that the strands will
not be contaminated..it should be applied
evenly over the mould surfaces.

PRESTRESSING STRAND HAULING TENSIONING:


1.Check the strand size,spacing and pattern.
2.Strand hauling should be carried out only when the release agent has dried to a degree that will
not contaminate the strands.
