Key Fact

The 8″ plank can span up to 36′ without intermediate support — enabling open floor plans that wood or cast-in-place concrete cannot achieve at this depth.

Design Assistance

Our engineering team works with your architects and structural engineers to optimize hollowcore plank selection for your specific project requirements.

🏭

Custom Manufacturing

Planks are manufactured to your exact specifications — custom lengths, notches, and openings cut to order in our Florida facility.

🚛

Delivery & Logistics

We coordinate flatbed delivery directly to your jobsite, with scheduling that keeps your construction timeline on track.

🏗️

Professional Installation

Our experienced installation crews use certified rigging and crane equipment to set planks safely and precisely — floors, roofs, and stair systems.

🪜

Precast Stair Systems

Complete precast concrete stair systems manufactured and installed as a unit — safe, accessible, and ready for immediate use during construction.

📋

Solid Concrete Planking

In addition to hollowcore, we produce solid concrete planking for applications requiring maximum load capacity in shorter spans.

Why Hollowcore

The Structural Choice
That Outperforms the Rest

Hollowcore precast concrete is the preferred structural system for builders who demand speed, strength, and long-term value. Here's why smart contractors choose American Precast.

50%
Faster than poured concrete

Faster Construction

Precast planks arrive ready to install. No formwork, no curing time. Your floor or roof deck is complete the same day it's set — dramatically shortening your construction schedule.

💪
50′
Maximum clear span

Superior Strength

Prestressed steel strands run through each plank, giving hollowcore concrete extraordinary tensile strength. Span up to 50 feet with no intermediate support columns.

🔥
2-hr
Fire rating (typical)

Fire Resistance

Concrete is inherently non-combustible. Hollowcore planks meet or exceed fire resistance requirements for most building types — no additional fireproofing needed.

🔇
50+
STC rating

Sound Attenuation

The hollow cores and concrete mass provide excellent sound isolation between floors — far superior to wood-frame construction for multi-family and commercial buildings.

💰
30%
Less weight than solid concrete

Cost Efficiency

The hollow cores reduce concrete volume by up to 30%, lowering material costs, reducing structural loads on foundations and walls, and cutting transportation costs.

Wind-rated for Florida code

Hurricane Resistance

In Florida's hurricane zone, concrete construction is king. Hollowcore systems provide the mass and rigidity to withstand extreme wind events that destroy lighter construction.
