Precast Advantage
At Tindall, innovation is at the core of who we are and what we do.
Our precast, prestressed concrete offers an array of benefits over other construction methods, such as cast-in-place or fireproofed steel. High-performance precast provides three characteristics that make it unrivaled in the world of construction — versatility, efficiency, and resiliency. Combine that with over 50 years of Tindall know-how and you get groundbreaking solutions that save time, money, and headaches.
Efficiency
There’s a reason so many builders and contractors are choosing Tindall precast. It provides a faster erection schedule, environmental benefits, and lower total installed costs. Plus, Tindall uses recycled, regionally supplied, and low-emitting materials, making our precast the best choice for an environmentally friendly structure.
Resiliency
Precast’s structural soundness provides protection against numerous hazards, including fire, severe storms, high winds, flying debris, and even explosions. Extensive research has even lead to the innovative design of structures that provide resiliency to earthquakes. On top of that, precast concrete does not provide a food source for mold, resulting in consistent quality air conditions.
Versatility
Precast concrete boasts an almost endless array of aesthetic options. Using formliners, aggregates, pigmentations, and various finishing techniques (including acid etching, smooth-as-cast, exposed aggregate, and abrasive blasting), our designers can create the custom finishes, sizes, and configurations necessary to achieve the appearance our clients desire for their structure. Even when faced with a tight budget, Tindall can mimic historic finishes like stone and brick facades.
