17 Metre Span for Precast Carparks
August 2004

Hollow Core Concrete’s 17m long, 400mm thick span plank is ideally suited to carpark design. The use of the long span planks result in:

  • The elimination of beams and columns
  • Reduced on site labour costs
  • Utilising floor area for high density parking
  • Elimination of formwork and scaffolding
  • Early access to following trades; and
  • Speed of construction.

Precast beams, columns and floors have proven to reduce labour and erection costs where design requirements don’t allow the use of the 17m planks.

With the assistance of our own specialist in-house design team, we are able to provide clients and their project consultants with design and feasibility solutions which utilise Hollow Core’s precast components. By combining our renowned expertise with the use of precast products, Hollow Core is able to deliver a total precast structural solution that meets specific construction needs.

Maximum flexibility is obtained in floor layouts by eliminating loadbearing components. Spans up to 17m give clear, uncluttered space. Hollow Core’s range of precast concrete products include:

  • Floor planks: Hollow Core & MiniSlabs (thin flat slabs)
  • Precast / prestressed beams and columns
  • Precast reinforced stairs & landings
  • Precast / prestressed piles
  • Precast / prestressed stadium seating units
  • Acoustic panels: both Absorptive SoundTrap® and reflective noise panels
