| The Spancrete Advantage
Once the engineers have chosen the plank size, the Spancrete machine is prepared while the strands are precisely laid in position. Tension is then applied with many tons of force pretensioning the strands.
The Spancrete extruder simultaneously places 3 layers of zero slump concrete, forming a monolithic, high-strength plank.
Once the proper concrete release strength is achieved, the plank is cut to the desired length. Spancrete machines can produce planks capable of spanning over 18m/60ft in length.
Pretensioning forces is the strands and the superior concrete bonding is what creates the tremendous strength of the Spancrete plank.
The Spancrete system of compaction and bonding concrete with the prestressed strands allows high load capacity and the longest spans in the industry.
Spancrete has invested years of research and millions of dollars in creating the world's finest precast, prestressed plank production systems.
Spancrete is a fast, versatile and efficient precast, prestressed hollowcore concrete system that truly gives you exceptional value for your investment.
