Pre-cast roofs, arch panels


Arch panel roofing is a technology often used in Biome's works. This is a pre-casting system where the panels and the supporting beams are cast on the ground and then lifted and assembled. A thin layer of concrete is cast over the same. This technology reduces the use of steel and cement by about 20%, eliminates the need of shuttering and centering needed for R.C.C roofs and the need of painting. More details of how to make this roof can be found in the attached PPT.
