Precast concrete erected over the long weekend

Photos from the installation of a structure made of LECA concrete precast elements, completed by our authorised partner Mihata. The external and internal load-bearing walls went onto the foundation in installation order, straight from the trailer.

LECA concrete is a lightweight concrete made with fired clay aggregate. An element with the same load-bearing capacity weighs less than one made of normal-weight concrete, which translates into a lower required crane capacity and cheaper transport, while the wall itself has better thermal performance. We have gathered the material's parameters on the LECA concrete page.

The installation was carried out in favourable weather, with no interruptions to crane work.
