architects and AltusGroup have unveiled the CarbonCast reinforced - concrete prefabricated wall panels at the Future of Composites in Construction trade show in Chicago . Compared to standard wire - mesh reinforcement , the corrosion - resistant concrete grid created by Chomarat allows for a thinner volume of concrete , which ensures the prefabricated panels are lightweight . As a result , the CarbonCast panels significantly reduce energy consumption by lowering energy and raw materials requirements . Also , less labor is needed to build , ship and assemble the panels .
Chromorat and AltusGroup have unveiled the CarbonCast reinforced-concrete prefabricated wall panels at the Future of Composites in Construction trade show in Chicago. Compared to standard wire-mesh reinforcement, the corrosion-resistant carbon grid created by Chomarat allows for a thinner volume of concrete, which ensures the prefabricated panels are lightweight. As a result, the CarbonCast panels significantly reduce energy consumption by lowering cement and raw materials requirements. Also, less energy is needed to manufacture, ship and assemble the panels.
