Precast
Concrete - Life-Cycle Cost Benefits
for New Building Projects
Precast Concrete
is a durable and long lasting building product. If properly maintained
it will stand the test of time.
Studies have
shown that precast concrete products can provide
a service life in excess of 100 years. For severe service conditions,
additional design options
are available which can extend the life of the precast concrete
product. This is extremely
important when calculating life-cycle costs for a project.
Concrete is
a natural product that has proven itself through the ages to have
superior durability and fire resistance plus "near zero"
maintenance. Precast concrete structures retain their original
appearance for many years, with no significant discoloration or
surface decay and the durability of precast concrete can greatly
reduce the need for structural repairs. The advent of precast
has made these, and the many other benefits of concrete, quickly
and easily attainable.
To
get a complete picture of "cost" vs. "value"
in any new building construction,
one needs to consider the full range of long term operating costs.
