When building an industrial hall, it is worth opting for a solution that will last for years without the need for constant repairs, reinforcing the structure, or costly modernizations Precast reinforced concrete halls are the answer to the needs of companies that are looking for robust and resistant to heavy-duty operation infrastructure. Such facilities offer not only durability, but also great flexibility in design and adaptation to diverse functions – from manufacturing, through storage, to public utility buildings.

What is a prefabricated reinforced concrete building?

Reinforced concrete hall is a structure based on precast concrete elements such as columns, beams, girders, trusses, or walls. They are manufactured in controlled factory conditions, which allows for significantly higher quality than with traditional construction methods. Subsequently, these elements are transported to the construction site and assembled on prepared foundations.

A reinforced concrete hall structure is characterized by high load-bearing capacity and stability. Thanks to prefabrication, it is also possible to accelerate the construction process – element production can take place concurrently with earthworks and foundation works.

Main advantages of reinforced concrete halls compared to steel ones

Comparing reinforced concrete halls to steel ones, several significant differences can be observed. Precast reinforced concrete halls provide exceptional durability and resistance to atmospheric factors – rain, snow, moisture, and fire. Their mass and structural rigidity limit the risk of damage from strong winds, earthquakes, or vibrations resulting from the operation of heavy machinery. Importantly, reinforced concrete does not require anti-corrosion protection, which is essential for steel. This makes construction of reinforced concrete halls an investment with a long operational life without the need for additional maintenance expenditures.

In facilities requiring high fire resistance – such as chemical warehouses or halls with flammable materials – a precast reinforced concrete hall will be a better choice.

When to choose a reinforced concrete structure and when a steel structure?

It all depends on the intended use of the hall, its location, and the investor's requirements A reinforced concrete hall structure is recommended if:

• you are planning a facility for decades, with minimal risk of damage
• static and dynamic loads are high,
• high fire resistance and material durability are needed,
• the building will be intensively used and subjected to continuous loads.

On the other hand steel halls on the other hand, are worth considering for lighter, temporary facilities or those requiring quick expansion. They are also more cost-effective for smaller volumes. The final decision should be preceded by an analysis of costs, schedule, and local conditions.

Construction costs of a prefabricated reinforced concrete hall – what influences the price?

The cost of constructing a reinforced concrete facility depends on many factors. The construction of reinforced concrete halls is a process requiring advanced planning, a detailed design, and close cooperation with the structure manufacturer.

The cost is influenced by, among others:

• size and purpose of the hall,
• thickness and type of prefabricated elements,
• ground conditions affecting the type of foundations,
• completion time – the shorter, the higher the logistical costs,
• need for additional solutions (e.g., cranes, overhead cranes, specialized gates).

Although the investment cost is higher than for a steel hall, the total cost of ownership over time may be lower. Reinforced concrete does not require such frequent inspections, protective measures, and also better withstands extreme conditions.

How does the construction process proceed from design to handover?

The construction of a reinforced concrete industrial hall is based on a framework that combines design precision with prefabrication efficiency. The process typically proceeds as follows:

1. Conceptual design – determination of hall function, dimensions, loads, and investor's requirements.
2. Technical documentation – preparation of detailed shop drawings and compilation of a list of prefabricated elements.
3. Production of prefabricated elements – in the plant, under strict quality control.
4. Earthworks and foundation works – executed concurrently with the production of elements.
5. Transport and assembly – quick and orderly assembly of ready components on the construction site.
6. Finishing works – installations, facades, flooring and associated infrastructure.

A professional industrial hall manufacturer is responsible not only for supplying components, but often also acts as a general contractor – coordinating the entire process until the handover of the completed facility.
