What is Custom Precast?

Bespoke precast elements for civil construction. Something that is not produced in an existing mould, and that can't be efficiently cast insitu.

Generally a quantity of 10 or more units is required to be cost-efficient; however this can vary, so have a chat with us for an obligation free assessment and quote.

Why Precast, not Insitu?

Precast can be the logical solution rather than insitu due to any of the following, and other reasons:

- Limited installation time; Eg rail or road occupation.

- Site constraints preclude insitu contractors; Eg space, logistics or conflicting trades.

- Logistics; Eg remote site not suited to travel or trades or procurement of concrete.

How is it done?

Modcast has developed streamlined processes that allow us to quickly and efficiently produce shop drawings, construct moulds, process reinforcing, cast (include availability of double pours), cure and deliver.

A key piece of the process is scheduling production to suit your time constraints where possible. We strive to understand your needs thoroughly.

What is not 'Custom':

Although a lot of panels and pits are precast to suit project specific requirements, they don't fall into Modcast's custom category.

Precast Panels: We recommend you speak to a precast panel yard.

Custom Pits: We recommend you contact a dedicated pit manufacturer.
