Since 1951

Since 1951, Speed Fab-Crete has specialized in a structurally load bearing, precast, high strength concrete wall panel building system. Architectural panel applications and various veneer finishes, including a precast, thin brick system, are among numerous options offered by a proven leader in the American precast concrete manufacturing industry.

Wall Panels

Our precast concrete wall panels are fabricated in thickness as required for the specific project and typically in widths of 8 to 14 feet and in various lengths. The panels have steel channel along their perimeter complying with ASTM A 36. The panels are reinforced with bars. When erected, the wall sections are welded to each other at the steel frame and to a base plate embedded in the building's foundation. Special engineered mix designs allow for use of lightweight or normal weight concrete with compression strengths up to 6,000 pounds per square inch.

It’s a fact

Structural precast concrete walls eliminate insurance problems and deteriorating exterior appearances inherent with stucco or exterior insulation foam systems (E.I.F.S.). Most professional liability insurance NOW excludes coverage for EIFS damage.

Casting and Curing

The completed frames are moved to casting beds where, from our batch plant, concrete is poured into the panels, then smoothed and finished by Speed Fab-Crete specialists. When cured, normally in seven days, the panels are lifted off the casting beds, cleaned, inspected, and made ready for shipment.

Loading and Delivery

Final plant inspection of the panels includes acidizing, grinding, chipping and grouting to maintain consistent quality. Finished panels are hoisted by crane onto our custom-built lowboy trailer trucks for safe and timely delivery to your job site.

Job Erection

When the building slab is ready, a Speed Fab-Crete crane lifts each wall panel into place. The panels are load-bearing so no costly steel pre-construction is needed. Panels carry the weight of the building themselves and truss and stress both foundation and roof.
