Benefits of Precast Concrete
  • Control and Quality
    Precast concrete products are produced in a controlled environment, providing high quality and uniformity. Variables aftecting the quality of end products e.g. temprature, humidity, craftmanship - can be nearly eliminatined.
  • Sustainibility
  • Economy
    Due to repetative proccess of precast concrete, almost no initial cost and a low maintance cost along with the longetivity of precast stucutres and their resistance to both everyday and extrem events 
  • Design Flexibility
    Unlike Steel Construction and cast-in-place concrete, architectural precast concrete offers limitless potential for the development and manipulation of massing, form, color, texture and details. 

Benefits of Precast Concrete

Welcome to Lowe Precast, Inc.

Control and Quality

Precast concrete products are produced in a controlled environment, providing high quality and uniformity. Variables affecting the quality of end products e.g. temperature, humidity, craftsmanship - can be nearly eliminated.

Sustainability

Precast Concrete production minimally disrupts the job site (Area and Time) and reduces damage to drainage paths and natural habitats.

Economy

Due to the repetitive process of precast concrete, the initial cost is lower, as is low maintenance cost. Longevity of precast structures and its resistance to both everyday and extreme events are also advantages of precast concrete.

Design Flexibility

Unlike Steel Construction and cast-in-place concrete, architectural precast concrete offers limitless potential for the development and manipulation of massing, form, color, texture and details.

Work began in late April/early May 2009 with the building of a new Football Academic Center, a new Hall of Fame, and the addition of 4,525 permanent bleacher seats that would replace the 4,000 temporary bleacher seats. It was also announced that this upgrade would raise the home attendance to more than 100,000 Funding for this project cost approximately $27 million dollars and also included money to change from natural to artificial grass. In May 2009, the university began the process of replacing the stadium's natural grass playing surface with FieldTurf and finished in June 2009.
