Precast Concrete Wall PanelsACP (Concrete) Ltd are part of the Thomas Armstrong Group of Companies and manufacture a wide range of precast concrete wall panels to suit a wide variety of applications. Designed to BS 8110 and BS 5502 part 22 1992, our precast concrete panels are used to form walls in warehouses and distribution centres, industrial units, storage bunkers. bulk storage buildings, above and below ground water tanks, recycling facilities, waste transfer stations, salt stores & fertiliser stores as well as all types of agricultural buildings. Why precast?
Our precast concrete wall panels are manufactured
at our factory in Cumbria. A batching plant was installed in 2004 which ensures
that we
have complete control over the quality on concrete used. Cast in moulds of up to 70m long means that the
length of the panels can be infinitely variable to suit our customers
requirements (practicalities permitting of course!) All our panels are prestressed ie. wet concrete is poured on to steel strand under tension, at
de-moulding the strand is de-tensioned and the concrete is then under
compression. This gives the panels additional strength and enables them to flex
under load without detriment. Specification
