How Precast Builds: Total Precast Concrete Systems
Sponsored by Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute | Presented by Spring McEwen, P.E., and Corey Greika, P.E.
Webinar On-Demand
Pre-manufacturing and off-site construction have been key attributes to precast concrete building systems for over sixty years. PCI’s How Precast Builds: Total Precast Concrete Systems presentation will demonstrate how an architect can utilize architectural and structure precast concrete for any building type. Attendees will learn how precast concrete contributes to sustainable designs, energy efficiency, long-term building performance and provides unmatched design versatility. Safety is paramount. These industry experts will demonstrate how different types of total precast concrete structural systems can be used to reduce jobsite risks by erecting large building components, reducing workforce labor, and speeding up the overall construction process. Join us as we share case studies where total precast structures are being utilized to save time, increase safety, and showcase how precast protects life.

The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) is a technical institute for the precast concrete structures and systems industry. PCI develops maintains, and disseminates the Body of Knowledge for the design, fabrication, and construction of precast concrete structures and systems. PCI develops consensus base standards, industry handbooks, quality assurance programs, certification, research and development projects, design manuals, continuing education, and periodical publications. PCI members include precast concrete producers, erectors, suppliers, professional engineers and architects, educators, students, and industry consultants who complement the wide range of knowledge of precast concrete.
