Interlocking at junctions between horizontal and vertical components, Precast columns and beams lock together and provide excellent structural properties to the framework of many modern day buildings carparks and multi-level constructions.
Purpose of the framework is varied from spanning openings and supporting floors to providing great compressive strength of compounding loadings and moments of stress in Multi-storey highrises.
They provide a rigid structure stitched together with interlocking reinforcing steel encased and protected in concrete to give durability and ductility to the buillding frame.
Typically more cost effective than structural steel, Precast concrete columns and beams can be quickly manufactured and delivered to site for crane installation with minimal leadtime or material constraints.
Nauhria Manufacture both Fully encased Beams and Columns Half beams of project specific dimension allowing flooring to be Tied into the beam with Concrete topping pours.
Beams are sometimes split to allow mid span supporting columns to be concreted in without terminating the continuity of in Reinforcing bars.
Construction Advice:
As most rebar starters projecting from beams are heavy 20mm+ and High tensile 500E grade bar, it is a really good idea to pay particular attention to the checking and verification of Shop drawings as bars not easy to correct or bend once they have been cast into the unit. Dimensions and positioning at intersections is critical. Consider also how the unit will need to be installed amidst heavily reinforced junctions of interlocking starter bars.
Whilst Nauhria plan and coordinate deliveries in advance with our specialised logistics suppliers, Please keep in mind that traffic density and incidents can result in unexpected delays outside of our control.
If you are inquiring about a delivery, please provide the project and panel details and we will track the current status of the delivery and report back to you as soon as possible.
Delivery Cancellations:
If due to delivery day circumstances you need to cancel your delivery please contact us immediately so we can take whatever actions may be available to mitigate incurred costs in loading and freight.
Delivery cancellations should be advised a minimum of 48 hours (2-working days) prior to the prearranged time & date.
Panel Storage:
Nauhria have one of the largest fully gantry'd vertical storage capacities available for precast panels, This supports the high quantity of precast panels manufactured and must rotate from production to delivery as fluidly as possible.
Please note... that unexpected delivery delays could cause congestion and disrupt other planned storage and deliveries, Additional storage costs may be incurred or we would be happy to discuss options with you in regards to onsite storage if available.
Nauhria Precast units require special precast transporters to deliver units to site.
Precast Transporters vary slightly but can typically accommodate the following limits:
Upto 12m unit length
Maximum 4.0m Load height
Maximum 21 tonne of balanced load weight
Dimensions outside of these parameters will require Specialised transport arrangements and machinery with associated costs.
Delivery is typically calculated to accommodate the greater Auckland areas, Depending on Delivery location greater distances could incur additional costs which may include accomodation, crossings or sea freight, High-routes, permits etc.
Nauhria are experienced in international precast supply.
International deliveries are subject to port and freight weight and dimension limitations, customs and costs - P.O.A.
Nauhria Precast Deliveries are pre-booked and coordinated through precast logistics specialists.
Geographical coverage predominantly ranges from the Central North Island to Northland.
Due to Nauhria's unique capabilities in High end architectural concrete, deliveries have extended to reach afar as New Zealand's South Island and Nuie with specialised overland and Sea-freight arrangements.
