A well-known real estate development market leader in Thailand, Pruksa Real Estate Public Company Limited or simply Pruksa has modernized two of its existing precast plants to include the production of hollow core slabs with a high level of automation with machinery from Echo Precast Engineering, a company of the Progress Group. Pruksa has introduced precast technology as the first one in Thailand and continues to develop this advanced and innovative technology there. With the newest investment in the hollow core production Pruksa continues to choose automatic processes to improve the productivity and efficiency with a significant reduction of man-made mistakes.
Precast concrete factories – a main factor for sustainable building
Already in 2005, Pruksa invested in the first precast concrete plant. Since it was founded, the company believed that innovation needs to be focused on and has lived this vision also through the system of building with prefabricated concrete elements. In the beginning Pruksa focused on delivering town houses with the usage of tunnel form construction. As the company grew and wanted to meet the requirements and demands as well as gaining more market share on single detached houses, it applied new methods by using innovative precast systems. The equipment for the automated carousel plants was provided by Ebawe Anlagentechnik and Progress Maschinen & Automation, the software solutions from Progress Software Development and the new hollow core production plants by Echo Precast Engineering, all companies of the Progress Group. The main products made in the plants are walls and slabs for the fast and secure building of residential housing.
