Columns

Function

Prefabricated columns are available in several sizes and finishes, and can be either square or rectangular. They can be incorporated into several prefabricated building systems.

ATTRIBUTes

With sufficient reinforcement, they can reach a height of 60'0'' (18,5m) or 6 floors of a building. They can also work for a single floor, i.e. +/-10'0'' (3m). The imposed dimensions and loads to be borne comprise the basic design factors used in determining the final shapes and sizes of the columns.

SPECIFIC ASPECTS

They are generally anchored and fixed at their base, and may include crows or brackets to allow the support of prefabricated elements such as beams and architectural spandrels, secured by means of embedded anchorages.

BENEFITS

Production in a protected and controlled environment ensures superior quality in all respects and total performance assurance of the concrete. Once delivered to the construction site, the assembly of the structure is completed very quickly using simple equipment and a limited team, which makes it much more competitive than traditional methods.
