Earthquake-proof precast structures in Chile
Until recently, most complex industrial buildings in Chile used to be built from steel. However, there is a trend to now build them in precast concrete.
Until recently, most complex industrial buildings in Chile used to be built from steel. However, because of the country’s proximityto the sea, there is a trend to now build them in precast concrete, taking advantage of the material’s virtues in terms of withstanding corrosion in marine environments, fire resistance and speed of construction. Tensocret specializes in precast systemsin reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and seismic protection systems. The company won the bid to build this project, which involves prefabrication of a major share of the structural elements on a temporary...
