LOAD-BEARING COLUMNS AND POLES

Structural element transmitting the weight of the structure above.

PRECAST

Field of application

Structural element that transmits, through compression, the weight of the structure above (celling or higher floors) to other structural elements below. The size and shape could be produced based on client’s requirements and statistical analysis. Column connections may be by threaded rods joined with an appropriate connector or via a base plate connected to other elements.

Advantages

  • variable shape (rectangular, square or circle)
  • cost savings due to speed of construction of precast columns
  • increased accuracy and quality of finish
  • additional construction for a crane runway
