Precast concrete is simultaneously at the cutting edge of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and utilising the inherent, proven performance benefits of concrete. These benefits can be relied on to deliver safe, sustainable buildings that are resilient to fire, release of water and protect occupants from the impacts of climate change, such as rising temperatures. This session will feature a case study, and also look at the latest innovations in production, digitisation and product development.
Chair: Mark Shepherd, Manager, MPA Precast
