PRE-CAST SYSTEM
Malaysia adoption of IBS precast is high because it has the following benefits:
Concrete mixing and curing are completed in a controlled casting environment therefore its quality can be consistent and less labour intensive. Strength can be enhanced, pre-evaluated and assured, strength test is no longer required on site. It is also time saving for projects where pre-order components are completed ahead, send to site for immediate installation. Weather has no longer a big factor to delays project, quicker completion of project gains more time value of money such as bank loan payoff, building handover, faster sales income recognition.
​
