Production.

Ten steps that decide dimensional accuracy and surface: this is how precast concrete is produced that can be built in.

Anyone planning a precast plant must know production. Magulan brings practice from the line: formwork, reinforcement, concrete, curing, demoulding, finishing, inspection, transport.

Every step decides tolerance, surface and cycle. That is why we do not write the sequence as a catalogue, but as the sequence a line must carry in daily operation.

That is the benchmark for engineering: a plant that masters exactly these steps — precisely, repeatably, with as little labour and energy as the process allows.

01
Planning & design
Formwork and reinforcement drawings are produced in 3D — for production that fits before the first pallet enters the hall. Design, formwork and reinforcement interlock, not follow one another.
- Precise 3D design instead of later adjustment
- Formwork and reinforcement planning in one model
- Time and cost on the drawing, not on the floor
02
Formwork preparation
Clean formwork, even release agent, verified dimensional accuracy. The surface of the precast element is decided here — not only at demoulding.
- Thorough cleaning of every mould
- Release agent for even fair-faced surfaces
- Check for damage and dimension before reinforcing
03
Reinforcement
Cutting and bending to the structural design, CNC-guided where accuracy requires it. Placing, tying and connecting so that the cage sits in the formwork as calculated — on time, without rework on pouring day.
- CNC cutting and bending to structural specification
- Connections to standard and verified position
- A sequence that holds the concreting rhythm
04
Concreting
Mix design to requirement, placing under control, distribution without honeycombing. Concrete quality is monitored during placing — not only on the cube after three days.
- Concrete mix designs to a defined standard
- Controlled placing and distribution
- Ongoing monitoring of consistency and quality
05
Compaction & screeding
High-frequency vibration drives air out of the mix. Then screeding: level, dimensionally accurate, repeatable. What remains imprecise here cannot be ground away later.
- Compaction for a dense, low-void structure
- Screeding to a level, tolerance-accurate surface
- Process monitoring instead of rework
06
Curing
Temperature and humidity govern strength development. Chambers or covering hold the climate; defined times secure further processing. Homogeneous curing is durability, not waiting time.
- Targeted control of temperature and humidity
- Defined curing times before demoulding
- Uniform maturity for load-bearing precast elements
07
Demoulding
The formwork is released gently from the element; edges and fair faces remain. What the mould held, the precast element must now hold itself — dimensionally accurate, free of warping, inspected before it moves on.
- Gentle release to protect edge and face
- Smooth fair faces without breakouts
- Immediate check of dimension and shape
08
Finishing
Grinding, edging, cleaning: the last layer before release. Unevenness, release-agent residue and tolerances are closed before the unit goes to quality control.
- Surfaces and edges to a consistent appearance
- Removal of dust, burr and release agent
- Dimensional check before release for dispatch
09
Quality control
Every precast element is inspected for dimension, surface and strength. Cracks, voids, honeycombing, deviations: recorded, assessed, documented. No transport without release.
- Dimension and tolerance with suitable measuring equipment
- Visual inspection for cracks, voids and honeycombing
- Concrete quality and complete inspection documentation
10
Transport & installation
Secure, load, deliver to site on time. On site the crew sets the element to the millimetre. The quality of the line must arrive on site — not only in the works protocol.
- Proper load securing of the precast elements
- Delivery in the rhythm of the site
- Precise installation and inspection on site
