Parameter |
Traditional Boundary Wall |
Prestress Precast Boundary Wall (PSPC BW) |
Advantage PSPC BW |
| 1 |
Erection time |
A 100 meter wall takes a minimum of a week to construct and another week for curing |
Same wall can be erected on site in just 2 days |
Drastically reduces working time |
| 2 |
Longevity |
Endurance of this wall depends on the quality of plaster used |
PSPC panels are made of void-less dense high grade concrete |
More durable |
| 3 |
Failure |
In case of cover turning failure, a large section of the wall may be damaged and require almost new construction |
In case of failure, only few columns may get damaged and require replacement; most panels can be reused with minor repairs |
Almost zero repair costs and immediate correction |
| 4 |
Security |
Its 150 mm thick brick masonry can be easily broken by ordinary hand tools |
The panels are reinforced with high tensile wire - that can only be cut mechanically - at every 75 mm distance |
Provides greater safety |
| 5 |
Climate impact |
Plaster surface absorbs moisture, cracks, and peels off often |
Hardly any moisture absorption as panel surfaces are made of dense concrete |
Nearly nil maintenance cost |
| 6 |
Painting |
Is essential as the plastered surface is not weatherproof |
Optional, for aesthetic reasons |
Cost savings |
| 7 |
Cleaning |
Plaster attracts dust, fungus, algae, plants etc. and requires cleaning & painting at regular intervals |
Merely washing can renew its looks |
No extra effort and expense |
| 8 |
Reuse |
Not possible as it is a permanent construction |
100% panels and 60% columns can be reused at another site |
Slashes reinvestment costs |
| 9 |
Weight
| Approximately 600 kg/RMT |
Approximately 205 kg/RMT |
Requires much smaller foundations |
