Coen Precast Site Visit

After the Site visit to Convenant College COEN pre-cast panels also invited me to come and
view their factory where they make the panels.

Coen Pre-cast panel site visit 29/05/08





An overall shot inside the factory. The panels are cast flat on large 'beds' that can be formed quickly inside the factory. Notice the Racked panels at the end of the factory, these are curing and once ready (usally 7days) are strong enough to handle the stresses of transportation.



In this shot a lifting pin and ferrul are visable. The reinforcement (not laid yet) provides strength to these external connections as they get tied to it. The position of the required components and even the size of the panel are read off shop drawings.
