New precast constructions for integrated complex urban interventions

The paper describes a complete solution for rapid complex urban interventions characterized by a high level of industrialization. This solution includes precast systems for residential, commercial and industrial buildings, produced in a unique plant.

The world of construction today requires a series of sophisticated technological solutions needed to fulfil technical specifications that are becoming more and more stricter and wider. The traditional cast-in-situ concrete constructions, relying on a semi-artisanal work, struggle to reach these objectives. A partial prefabrication in concrete made with precast systems with wet joints only partially addresses this issue. It is our opinion that the near future of concrete technology is going to be based on a process that avoids as much as possible the uncertainty coming from handicraft, granting...
