Stephen Andrews, Senior Structural Engineer with Professional Engineering Consultants, explains how Waffle-Crete panels retain the design strength of solid panels.
Download Explanation
Waffle-Crete = Fast + Low-Cost + Versatile + High Quality
With patented Waffle-Crete molds you can crank out perfect precast panels of practically any size or shape without skilled labor and with little chance for error. Waffle-Crete molds and curing covers are fabricated from rugged ABS plastic and a rigid extruded aluminum frame. With reasonable care, Waffle-Crete molds and covers can last for many years and hundreds of uses.
Cast: Maximum Panel Production at the Lowest Cost
Set up a casting site
Oil forms and add steel
Pour, screed and cover
The Waffle-Crete forming system is lightweight and self-contained, making it easy to set up a production casting site wherever it is most convenient. The waffle and rib pattern in the mold speeds and simplifies rebar placement and also reduces the amount of steel and concrete needed by up to 50% without compromising the panel’s structural integrity.
Strip: Consistent Quality Precast Panels Ready When You Need Them
Cure overnight
Strip the next day
Stack for erection
After a panel is cast, insulated Waffle-Crete covers help maintain optimal conditions for curing while also protecting the panel from the elements. The curing cover allows the panel temperature to climb up to 150 degrees F (65.5 degrees C) while minimizing shrinkage and cracking. The next day, you simply loosen the bolts at the corners of the mold, strip the panel using a Waffle-Crete demolding device, and stack it for erection.
Erect: Erect Buildings In Record Time With Unskilled Workers
Lift with smaller equipment
Erect with minimal bracing
Bolt panels together
At half the weight of solid precast, Waffle-Crete panels are more maneuverable and require smaller lifting devices and equipment. During erection the waffle and rib pattern makes it possible to bolt panels together, which is considerably faster and requires much less skill than welding embed plates. This panel design also simplifies installation of plumbing, electrical and insulation.
