So, now that you know about a few of the ways in which precast concrete can be used, you might want to know what precast concrete is. Precast concrete is a type of construction material made with concrete cast in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place. This type of construction method dates back to the ancient Romans. In contrast, standard concrete is poured into large forms and cured on site. Precast stone is distinguished from precast concrete by using a fine aggregate in the mixture so the final product approaches the appearance of naturally occurring rock or stone. Precasting gives gives the builders more control over the final dimensions and appearance.
