CRC - pre-cast applications

The high strength of CRC and the very small cover to the reinforcement, which can be used with the very dense matrix, makes it possible to produce light and slender structures in CRC. This has been utilised in a number of applications such as for drain covers, manhole covers, balcony slabs and staircases. For other applications, such as linings for deep mines, the main need has been strength. Of the elements produced in CRC the staircases and the cantilevered balcony slabs are certainly the most visible, but while CRC has so far mostly been used in high profile buildings, where a special design has been made in each case, work is also being done to produce a type of standard staircase in CRC - or separate treads. This will reduce the price of the finished product significantly so that CRC will be only marginally more expensive than conventional concrete.
