Transport to site

Consideration to transport route and limitations on precast delivery should be considered early to review maximum height of loaded truck, - Pre-cast concrete panels and elements should be transported to site in a safe manner and loaded on trucks so that the panels will not fall off the semi-trailer, make the vehicle difficult to drive or make the panels difficult to unload.

When unloading panels the semi-trailer should be located on firm, level ground. The side slope should be minimal and not exceed 2 degrees (2 degrees is usually just discernible to the human eye).

Consideration to double height panels is required to transport.

It’s also necessary to preplan any construction safety requirements for the precast to provide screening to the precast panel prior to its installation.
