Beams & Columns

At Taracon Precast we specialize in providing our clients with precast concrete products that offer superior design and aesthetic flexibility, exceptional quality and durability. Being a PCI Certified Plant ensures that you will receive the highest quality products and service from a trusted provider.

Precast concrete is suitable for a range of construction applications which include bridges, buildings and other structures that require exceptional strength, safety and durability. Because of this, precast concrete is regarded as one of the best materials for the manufacturing of construction beams and columns.

Precast Concrete Beams

Taracon Precast’s prestressed concrete beams are horizontal structural components designed and manufactured to support other structures that include solid slabs, additional beams, hollow core slabs and double tees.

Precast concrete beams are typically designed in three basic shapes which include L-shaped, Inverted Tee and Rectangular. They are also designed based on specifications which include loading conditions, spans and the desired level of reinforcement.

At Taracon Precast, we have the capabilities to manufacture several types of precast concrete beams, which include:

  • Spandrel (Edge) Beams

    Beams that span the entire perimeter of a structure, provide support for floor and roof loads and are a marker of floor levels between stories of a building.

  • Raker Beams

    Typically used in stadium construction (indoor and outdoor arenas), raker beams are angled and notched to be able to support riser or terracing units.

  • Lintel Beams

    Beams designed to be used over door and window openings. They provide extra reinforcement and support for the structures that are placed above these specific areas.

  • Balcony Beams

    Beams that are constructed and cast with a balcony integrated into the design.

Our beams can be cast with various levels of finishing ranging from smooth to rough, depending on the intended use and application once the structure arrives at the construction site.

Precast Concrete Columns

At Taracon Precast our columns are vertical structural components that are designed and manufactured to a wide range of specifications based on individual project needs. Our columns are also designed for seamless integration with construction components such as projecting bars, base plates and dowel tubes.

Our prestressed concrete columns are manufactured to meet the needs of builders who demand the highest quality structural components for a wide variety of structural systems.

Along with being ideal for single or multi-level structures like parking facilities and large commercial buildings, Taracon Precast columns offer unmatched flexibility in terms of shapes, sizes, applications and finishes.

Utilizing our prestressed concrete columns as a structural component offers unique benefits:

  • Complete Customization – While square and rectangular column designs are the most common request, components can also be manufactured to specifications and requirements that enhance the structural and architectural needs of the project.
  • Multiple Applications – The most widely utilized application for our precast concrete columns are as the foundations to support precast spandrel beams, however our columns are also ideal for multiple types of construction systems and structures made with precast concrete that fall outside of the norm.

Taracon Precast’s precast concrete beams and columns provide the perfect foundation for mounting precast architectural and structural panels as well as hollowcore slabs. Once erected, the beam and column components offer a seamless and streamlined appearance to the entire structure of the building.
