Most architectural concrete solutions use to be conceived by the same architect who authors the whole project. However, even the most familiar with industrialization need to be assisted by other specialists to define precast elements with proper detail and sound production costs.
Architectonic Concrete, S.L, assisted the architect for this particular precast project and helped the most suitable precaster for the achievement.
The natural trend for precasters is to solve the explode and modulation of façades, with elements the most extensive the better, that usually reducing cost of the fixing systems and time of assembly, generally that involving lesser manpower required, in the erection site too.
Very volumetric precast of big size, as this case is, require to master moulds technology to a great extend. Moulds quality is a must for elements like these, with non co-planar exposed surfaces, bevels, etc...
This architectural sollution is mainly for sunlight breaking, as a kind of curtain-wall, detached in front of the glass cladding, to drive lower sunlight of winter, according to building's lattitude 40º North.
The assembly ratio was an average of 8 to 9 elements /day fully anchored, by a team of three assemblers plus the crane operator.
All anchors are bolted, Hilti and Halfen-like.
Concrete for the elements is white cement based, white aggregates, reinforced according to the highest loads for the elements to sustain: while in demoulding phase.
