Milbury Vertical Cantilevers

Features

 There are a number of advantages in using our vertical precast wall panels over the ‘L’ shaped units.

The panels are prestressed, allowing greater strength in a more slender panel. Prestressing reduces the incidence of tensile cracking in panels. The concrete used for the prestressed panels is designated as a C50/60 grade. ‘L’ walls are limited to certain fixed sizes, maximum 3.75 m, whereas prestressed panels can be individually designed for any height up to 7.50 m as the amount of prestressing can be varied to suit site conditions. The foundation can be individually designed to suit site and loading requirements. The walls panels are tongue and grooved together, allowing effective sealing between units without stressing the sealant. The tongue and groove joint between panels allows for load-share for live loading and greater acceptance of accidental overload. The units are lighter – height for height – so require smaller site lifting vehicles. The prestressed unit can be lifted and handled more easily on site.
