Why Precast Concrete Vs. Cast In Place Concrete?
The HTI precast concrete tank design is generally considered by engineers and designers to be superior to cast in place concrete tanks for a number of reasons: • Precast Concrete is Generally Stronger than Cast in Place Concrete • Precast Concrete is Generally More Durable than Cast In Place Concrete • Precast Concrete is More Resistant to Development of Stress Fractures • Precast Concrete Construction Methods Take Less Time than Cast In Place Methods HTI has NEVER had a structural problem with one of its wastewater treatment plants or components, using precast concrete tanks and construction methods. We want to stress that the design and the sealant used in our precast concrete tanks is environmentally friendly. Environmental regulatory agencies allow the HTI precast concrete tanks to be built for potable water storage, as well as for biosolids storage. The sealant on all of our precast concrete tanks carries up to a 20 year warranty by the sealant manufacturer. Primarily, HTI uses pr
