Precast Detailing Portfolio

Precast detailing is an essential process in the construction industry that involves creating detailed drawings and specifications for precast concrete components. Precast concrete refers to a construction material produced off-site in a controlled environment, typically a precast manufacturing facility, and then transported to the construction site for assembly.

The process of precast detailing begins with the architectural and structural designs of a building or structure. These designs are the basis for creating precise and accurate drawings for each precast component. The precast detailing team works closely with architects, structural engineers, and contractors to understand the project requirements and specifications.

Paradigm Outsourcing provides quality and believes in following the same with our Precast Detailing Services. Paradigm Outsourcing (Formely Paradigm Engineering) uses all the latest software in the Industry and believes in providing you with practical designs.

The primary objective of precast detailing is to ensure that each precast component is fabricated and installed correctly, minimizing errors and maximizing efficiency during the construction process. This requires meticulous attention to detail and thorough knowledge of precast construction techniques and industry standards.

The International industry norms and codes listed below show our confidence in a coordinated system.

• ASTM – American Society of Testing Materials
• ACI – American Concrete Institute
• CRSI – Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute
• NZS – New Zealand Standards
• AS – Australian Standards
• BS – British Standards

The precast detailing process involves several steps:

Review of design documents: The precast detailing team carefully reviews the architectural and structural designs, identifying the precast components required for the project. They consider factors such as load-bearing capacity, dimensions, connections, and architectural finishes.

Preparation of shop drawings: Detailed shop drawings are created for each precast component, illustrating its geometry, reinforcement plan/elevations, connection details, and other specifications. These drawings act as a guide for the precast manufacturer, ensuring accurate fabrication.

Embedment plans: Precast detailing also includes the preparation of embedment plans, which specify the location and installation details of embedded items such as anchor bolts, plates, inserts, and electrical conduits. These plans help coordinate the precast components with other building elements.

Material takeoff: The precast detailing team estimates the quantities of materials required for each precast component, such as concrete, reinforcement bars, drossbach, Ferrules, cast-in plates, lifters, and other accessories. This information is crucial for cost estimation and procurement.

Coordination with other disciplines: Precast detailing requires close coordination with other disciplines involved in the project, such as structural engineers, architects, mechanical and electrical engineers, and contractors. This collaboration ensures that the precast components integrate seamlessly with the overall construction.

Quality control: The precast detailing team performs quality checks throughout the process to ensure compliance with design specifications and industry standards. They verify dimensions, reinforcement details, connections, architectural finishes, and coordination with other services to ensure accuracy and quality in the final precast elements.

Precast detailing offers numerous benefits to construction projects. It allows for faster construction as precast components can be manufactured while site preparation and foundation work are underway. The accuracy and precision of precast detailing reduce construction errors and improve the overall quality of the project. Additionally, precast components are known for their durability, fire resistance, and versatility in design.
