Cast-In-Place or Precast Concrete?   The evaluation of pros and cons is a critical exercise in decision-making, allowing us to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of various options.   Cast-In-Place 🟦 - directly poured at the construction site - offers flexibility, but requires more on-site labor - weather conditions can cause delays - no need for cranes, for large components that would be hard to transfer   Precast 🟩 - pre-made (off-site) delivered to the construction site - less on-site labor - weather conditions won't affect construction - necessity for cranes - compressive strength - 50 MPa without reinforcement - smaller cost of labor and remedial works due to error   What's yours experience with Precast?   #precast #castonsite #engineering #consultants #petruf #modernmethodsofconstruction #concrete MMC Ireland

Removal of the large concrete armour units is not easy compared to construction stage. The redundant Core-locs (22T) removal during the construction of Port City.

Originally design for cutting and forming metal rivets, the CP buster is now mostly used for concrete demolition and has become one of the stars of the CP range. It has a low frequency blow with hitting power equivalent to a paving breaker twice its weight. There is no hammer with more hitting power per kg than a CP rivet buster – even a T-handle breaker will need to be at least twice as heavy to give an equivalent blow. This super-power can still be controlled thanks to low blow frequency and teasing throttle – that’s why the CP rivet buster is one of the favourite tools of demotion contractors. Users have discovered many new applications for rivet busters for working in both concrete and steel. No longer is the buster used exclusively by iron workers for forming and cutting rivets, but it has now found its way into the hands of operators who need the most powerful tool for the job. https://lnkd.in/eSjkWt4 Ready on the shelfs for hire and sale across the UK with next day delivery. #concrete #demolition #contractors #groundworks #buildingconstruction #construction #tools #civilengineer

🌟 CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 🌟 We’re over the moon to have received such a fantastic testimonial from our client, M&M Concrete, for our recent work on a project in St Helens. “I have decided to take time to personally thank you for your support on the St Helens project. Following a brief phone call, you decided to come and give us an onsite meeting to discuss the problem in person (the next day). After a site visit your expertise helps us to deviate from demolishing a reinforced concrete structure. The core drilling option you recommended was not only more cost-effective, but it also helped us carry on with other critical path items . Restarting this works would have been costly to the program and would have been challenging to claw the time back (also costly to the pocket). After the decision to go with your chosen method, the rest of the works just flowed. From the detailed RAMs at the start. Then the operative’s attention to detail, attitude and general knowledge of the works were first class. The project was a great success in a challenging busy environment with multiple trades. Your company helped us achieve our end date. Safety is paramount on our projects and your company was a credit for this also. (Never intervened at any point for PPE rules, glasses, gloves, barriers) You made it look easy. Your site manager kept me informed in person on the progression of the project. Even got us all out for a final sign off. (Good management.)” We loved working on this project, and we pride ourselves on upholding our safety standards throughout all of the work we do.
