Structural Precast Concrete Panels & Elements

Overview

Hunter Precast provides innovative, high-quality structural precast concrete solutions designed to meet the needs of contemporary construction projects.

Our range of precast products are engineered for strength, durability, and efficiency, ensuring that every build, whether residential or commercial, achieves its full potential. From reducing on-site construction time to improving project sustainability, Hunter Precast is your trusted partner in delivering state-of-the-art concrete solutions.

Façade Panels: High-Strength and Aesthetic Versatility

Our load-bearing façade panels are engineered to support multi-storey construction without the need for additional steel structures. These panels combine strength and flexibility to offer superior aesthetic and structural outcomes.

With the benefit of factory manufacturing processes and quality assurance, structural precast builds can prove a precise and efficient way to construct. In addition, they can reduce on-site trades and the uncertainties related to labour and weather.

Engineered with a precise specification of reinforcing steel, the panels boast both structural and compressive strength properties. With services able to be built-in, the finished panels can be erected and the building serviceable in the shortest possible time.

Typical thickness:

200mm

Max size:

10 x 3.6m

Sandwich Panels: Thermal Performance and Structural Integrity

Our sandwich panels provide excellent thermal insulation along with structural integrity, combining multiple layers for optimal energy efficiency and strength.

As the name suggest, sandwich panels have a layer of insulation material separating the internal face from the external face.

Sandwich panels consist of three layers constructed consecutively to achieve a monolithic panel, designed without cold joints on exposed edges.

A load-bearing internal wythe is poured first;
Secondly, a layer of specially designed extruded polystyrene insulation is placed onto the first concrete layer and held by thermoplastic resin ties;
Lastly, a non-load bearing layer of concrete is placed.

Precast sandwich panels typically achieve R-values of R1.4 – R3.0+, greatly adding to the final Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) star rating a project will receive.

Precast Columns and Beams: Strong Foundations for Complex Builds

Precast columns and beams are essential for the structural integrity of complex builds, reducing on-site labour and eliminating the need for time-consuming formwork.

Providing an alternative to structural steel and cast insitu concrete options, precast means no on-site formwork and minimal propping. This makes then an efficient and cost-effective option.

Structural connections are a critical component of any column or beam. Careful consideration must be made when selecting connections. We can offer assistance to ensure strength, buildability and aesthetics are achieved.

Precast concrete beams and columns can be engineered and manufactured to a wide range of load specification and are available in lengths/heights up to 13 metres.

Retaining Walls: Engineered Strength and Aesthetic Flexibility

Hunter Precast’s retaining walls are designed to provide robust structural support, while also offering a wide range of aesthetic options to enhance landscapes.

Precast retaining walls can be flat, tapered, rhomboidal, trapezoidal or curved.

Being designed and engineered to the specific application off-site means eliminating on-site engineering considerations, and the risk of failing due to an ineffective substrate or thickness.

Precast retaining walls can also incorporate decorative elements and textures to suit the location or aesthetic.

Lift and Stair Cores: Efficient, Safe, and Reliable

Our lift and stair cores provide the backbone for high-rise developments, offering safety, speed, and precision during construction.

Precast concrete lift and stair cores allow off-site engineering and testing, making them a safe option for these structures.

Typically this option is more expensive compared to other construction methods, however fewer trades/onsite congestion and speed of erection are more favourable.

Hunter Precast can liaising with the lift or stair manufacturer prior to core design and ensure all specification and requirements are adhered to thus facilitating a smooth installation.

Why Choose Precast Concrete from Hunter Precast?

Speed: Off-site manufacturing means faster on-site assembly, reducing overall project timelines.
Durability: Our concrete is designed to last, resisting weather, moisture, and heavy loads.
Sustainability: Precast methods reduce material wastage and improve energy efficiency in buildings.
Customisation: From textures to shapes, we tailor every element to your project’s needs.

Cubby Hole

Truly a reimagining of the industrial unit. Overlooking the south channel of the Hunter River is the latest Cubby Hole industrial micro unit development.

Boasting 81 industrial units, Cubby Hole at Mayfield again proved itself with a modern and smart looking product that has become popular across the region.

Incorporating the decorative ‘bullet-hole’ styling, curved edge panels and plentiful windows not common in an industrial setting, the outcome is a fresh take on the industrial unit.

We could not be prouder of the final result.
