The Prestressed Group works closely with architects and engineers to help them maximize both their cost efficiencies and design features when specifying beams and columns for precast construction projects.  Ideal for quickly constructing a building's framework, The Prestressed Group's beam and column components are designed for rapid connection, architectural appeal, and fast-track construction schedules.

Precast columns and beams are manufactured as reinforced and/or prestressed units.  The manufacturing process combines the compressive strengths of concrete with the tensile strengths of steel, providing a stronger and leaner building component.  Using standardized forms to accelerate the manufacturing process, precast beams and columns are either continuous, with single-storey columns, or single span with multi-storey columns.

Owners and builders looking for wide open spans and fire resistance are increasingly comparing the cost of steel and cast-in-place concrete with precast structural components and the one-source, one-system solution available from The Prestressed Group.
