Efficiency

Key to optimising the potential efficiencies available through the use of precast concrete systems as the preferred superstructure solution is an understanding of the overall scheme's requirements. Opportunities are identified through PCE's approach to providing the complete solution and investigating how the solution can benefit all involved. Smarter designs targeted at creating significant added value to the scheme and a streamlined delivery programme result in PCE and all the key stakeholders optimising efficiencies. Integrated functional solutions reduce the number of construction operations and follow-on trades, resulting in the shortening of the construction programme.

PCE's design strategy considers our supply chain partners capabilities and key resources with a view to maximising outputs and removing non-value adding activities. Design and detailing is sequenced to generate best use of repetition and like to take full advantage of the benefist of off-site manufacture. Manufacturing and construction details are developed not just to benefit the end result but also to ensure practical and efficient production.

Logistics management and coordination is planned in finite detail to best suit the constraints of the site and to optimise the efficient use of the critical resources.
