A total of 6,300 precast elements were produced in the company's production yard 15 kilometers away.

EN 1992-1-3 gives a general basis for the design and detailing of concrete structures in buildings made partly or entirely of precast elements.

But the opportunity to produce precast elements in the factory has meant that construction will take only 13 months instead of the conventional 18 or 19 months.

Ductal is almost self placing and is best suited for precast elements or in-situ repair or upgrade works.

Apart from these two halls, all the structures in the complex are in reinforced concrete consisting of 12,800 specially shaped precast elements made up of 150 basic types.

For example, cast-in-place elements are coarse and grainy textured because the concrete was poured into fir wood frames to mold it, while precast elements, such as trusses and supports, were set in steel molds to gain smooth, clean surfaces.
