The Trepka Prefabricated Concrete showcases its products on-site, with factory walls constructed by the company, displaying various finishes and coloured concrete samples.
Inside the production halls, timber formwork is assembled into molds, reinforcement meshes are bent and welded from rebar by a large scale machine, concrete is poured into finished wall elements and the whole process is repeated as many times as an order demands. Everything following this sequence is resolved inside the hall so that assembly on site becomes quick and simple.
Beyond slabs and facade elements, the assembly lines produce small structures, transformer stations cast and finished as single unit buildings, ready for direct placement on site. The visit to an active construction site of their new hall showed the logic at full scale, with prefabricated elements falling right into place.
For students, it was a rare chance to see prefabrication as a full process, from rebar through prefabricated pieces to the finished building.
