AR Precast manufactures precast concrete products using weighed batching, product-specific concrete mixes, vibration compaction, controlled demoulding, water curing and routine quality checks. The exact materials, concrete grade, thickness, colour layer and production requirements vary according to the product specification.
Precast concrete products can look similar while differing in concrete grade, dimensions, thickness, aggregate selection, unit weight, surface construction, curing and finish.
Our current production uses OPC 43 grade cement, crusher dust and graded aggregates. Concrete mixes generally range from M25 to M40 depending on the product and requirement. Raw materials are weighed before mixing, and products are compacted using vibration.
For applicable coloured products, a separate coloured top layer of approximately 10–12 mm is used over the backing layer. Products are generally demoulded after approximately 18–24 hours and then kept covered and water-cured through sprinkling for around 7–10 days.
Routine checks include dimensions, thickness, visual finish, cracks, edge condition and approximate unit weight.
Actual production details may vary according to product type, thickness, colour and order specification.
Follow the owner-approved sequence below to understand each documented stage and why it may matter when discussing a product requirement.
Raw materials are measured by weight before mixing to help maintain consistency between production batches.
AR Precast uses weighed batching for production. Measuring materials by weight provides better control over the quantities entering each batch and allows the concrete mix to be prepared according to the product being manufactured.
Why this matters to the buyer
Consistent batching helps reduce unnecessary variation between production batches.
OPC 43 grade cement, crusher dust and graded aggregates are selected according to the product requirement.
Current production materials include OPC 43 grade cement, crusher dust and graded aggregates. For products up to 80 mm thickness, 10 mm aggregate is generally used. For products above 80 mm thickness, 20 mm aggregate is used where applicable.
Pigment and admixture from Hard & Shine are used for applicable coloured products.
The precise material combination depends on the product, thickness, colour and concrete specification.
Why this matters to the buyer
Two products that look similar may not contain the same material combination or aggregate specification.
Concrete mixes generally range from M25 to M40 depending on the product and its specification.
Different precast products do not necessarily require the same concrete specification. AR Precast currently manufactures products using concrete mixes generally within the M25 to M40 range, depending on the particular product and requirement.
The applicable grade should therefore be considered as part of the product specification when comparing quotations.
Why this matters to the buyer
A similar shape or colour does not necessarily mean that two products are being manufactured to the same concrete specification.
Concrete is placed into product-specific moulds according to the required shape, dimensions, thickness and finish.
The prepared concrete is placed into moulds for the required product.
Plain products may be manufactured as single-layer units. For applicable coloured products, a separate coloured top layer of approximately 10–12 mm is formed over the backing concrete layer.
The construction therefore depends on the product and finish being supplied.
Why this matters to the buyer
Product thickness and layer construction are important when comparing two apparently similar quotations.
The concrete is compacted using vibration after it is placed into the mould.
Vibration is used to distribute and compact the concrete inside the mould so the material forms the intended product shape, dimensions, edges and surface.
Machine-specific pressure, vibration duration or other figures are not stated unless they are measured and verified for the production setup.
Why this matters to the buyer
Compaction is part of achieving consistent product formation and finish.
Products are generally demoulded approximately 18–24 hours after moulding.
After moulding, products are normally allowed approximately 18–24 hours before demoulding. At this stage the concrete is still young, so the units require appropriate handling and further curing before normal dispatch handling.
Why this matters to the buyer
Manufacturing does not end when concrete is placed into the mould; controlled early-age handling is also part of the production process.
Demoulded products are kept covered and water is applied through sprinkling during the curing period.
After demoulding, products undergo water curing primarily through sprinkling while kept covered. The typical curing period is approximately 7–10 days.
Actual curing and handling requirements can vary according to the product and production conditions.
Why this matters to the buyer
Curing is an important part of concrete product production and requires time, handling and production space after demoulding.
Finished products are routinely checked for dimensions, thickness, visible finish, cracks, edge condition and approximate unit weight.
Routine production checks include confirming product dimensions and thickness, examining the visible surface finish, checking for cracks and edge damage, and monitoring approximate unit weight.
Unit weight is checked regularly as one of the production consistency indicators.
Why this matters to the buyer
The actual product supplied should be compared using measurable characteristics, not only appearance or price per piece.
Finished products are currently loaded manually and coordinated for transport according to the order and delivery requirement.
Products are generally considered for dispatch from approximately 7 days of age, depending on the product, curing progress, material readiness and order requirement.
Loading is currently carried out manually. Transport is then coordinated according to the quantity, product weight, vehicle requirement and delivery location.
Why this matters to the buyer
Product rate and delivered cost can be affected by quantity, weight, transport, unloading and site requirements.
Compare dimensions, thickness, weight, specification, finish and delivered requirement — not only ₹ per piece.
Products with the same general name or appearance can differ in actual length and width. Those differences change the amount of material contained in each piece and the number of pieces required for a given area.
A 60 mm product and an 80 mm product should not be compared only by price per piece. Actual thickness changes the material quantity and product specification.
Different precast products may use different concrete specifications. AR Precast currently uses product-specific mixes generally within the M25–M40 range, so the quoted grade should be considered when comparing requirements.
Aggregate selection can vary with product thickness and requirement. AR Precast generally uses 10 mm aggregate for products up to 80 mm thickness and 20 mm aggregate for products above 80 mm where applicable.
Applicable coloured products may include a separate coloured top layer of approximately 10–12 mm over the backing concrete. The colour, pigment, admixture and layer construction form part of the production requirement.
Approximate finished unit weight can help identify whether two apparently similar products are genuinely comparable. Weight should always be considered together with dimensions, thickness, concrete specification, finish and intended application.
Production includes batching, moulding, vibration, demoulding, curing, handling and inspection. These stages require material, labour, time and production capacity beyond simply filling a mould.
Final delivered cost may vary with order quantity, total product weight, delivery distance, vehicle requirement, unloading requirement and site accessibility.
Use these owner-provided questions to compare the same product and delivered requirement across quotations.
Compare actual supplied dimensions rather than relying only on the product name.
Make sure both quotations refer to comparable product specifications.
Weight can be a useful comparison point when considered together with dimensions, thickness and specification.
For applicable coloured products, compare the actual construction and finish being supplied.
Make sure both quotations are for comparable visible finishes and production requirements.
Different product dimensions can change the quantity required for the same installation area.
Order quantity can affect production, loading and transport economics.
Compare material-only and delivered pricing separately.
Unloading arrangements and charges can change the final site-delivered cost.
Confirm that the proposed supply schedule suits the project requirement.
Real product imagery provides additional context beyond catalogue photographs.
Share the product specification or quotation with AR Precast. We can help you compare the dimensions, thickness, concrete specification, approximate unit weight, colour or finish, quantity and delivery requirement on a like-for-like basis before you decide.
A lower or higher price per piece does not always represent the same physical product or delivered requirement. Compare the actual specification first, then choose the product that suits your project.
