How CoreSlab Became The Leading Precast Concrete Specialist In The Public And Private Sector
How CoreSlab Became The Leading Precast Concrete Specialist In The Public And Private Sector. CoreSlab is a leading precast concrete specialist that operates in both private-sector project and public-sector infrastructure programme markets. As a precast concrete specialist, CoreSlab is able to assist its clients in the design of the most optimal precast concrete solution for their project requirements. This includes optimising existing designs to better incorporate precast concrete systems in a project.
The company is known for the high quality of its precast concrete elements that are manufactured according to SABS standards. Its plant features cutting-edge technologies and, to mitigate downtime, it has its own workshop and maintenance team. The company conducts daily quality tests in its fully equipped on-site laboratory and test cubes are sent to independent laboratories for further inspection. Its involvement in the project spans the management of the delivery of the precast concrete elements through to the installation of the system. These capabilities are sourced in-house to ensure swift on site performance and a high quality installation, while contributing towards a safer construction site.
It launched to supply high quality precast concrete systems, including hollow-core slabs, rib-and-block slabs mainly to the residential property developments. The quality of its precast concrete elements and installations facilitated its later successful entry into state-driven civil-engineering and large property projects. It’s systems have been used to build shopping centres, showrooms, hotels, schools through to reservoirs, sports complexes and bridges. While CoreSlab continues to grow in these markets, it has remained true to its roots as demonstrated by its ongoing large involvement in new residential projects of varying sizes.
Coreslab received a special mention in the Specialist Contractors or Suppliers category of Construction World’s 2020 Best Projects Awards for its stellar work on the Kaalfontein and Diepsloot pedestrian bridges. The pedestrian bridges are part of the Johannesburg Road Agency’s significant investment into low-income communities in the larger Midrand area to create jobs and provide access to service delivery. They also serve a more critical function by providing a quick means of evacuating areas during heavy flooding, as well as swift connections between highly densified nodes in these areas.
