CAST-IN-PLACE VS. PRE-CAST CONCRETE
In comparison to prefabricated concrete, site cast concrete is poured, molded, and cured on-site. One advantage it has over prefabricated slabs is that it does not need to be transported a long distance to be lifted into place. When a project necessitates the use of large, heavy, and specialized concrete molds, onsite construction is usually the best option. Precast concrete, on the other hand, is poured into molds, formed, and then dried away from the job site. Within the manufacturing facility, concrete is poured and hardened under ideal conditions. The prefabricated concrete products are then delivered to the construction site, where they can be integrated into the appropriate structure.
