Kim S Elliott and Arnold Van Acker, shows the precast concrete industry is ideally placed to accommodate the higher demands by using experienced design teams and skilled labour in a quality controlled environment to produce high specification components for IBS. The key to success is the adoption of an off-site construction methodology from the outset, rather than trying to modify traditional solutions by converting existing cast in-situ concrete buildings to precast concrete IBS. Special materials, such as high strength and self compacting concrete, and the integration of building services, have special significance in IBS. Precast concrete structures need not be limited to rectangular shoe-box designs, and offer clients and architects many options for modern construction. |
