Our team has the skills and knowledge to deliver tailored solutions to your specific requirements, whether planning a new precast concrete plant, optimising an existing precast production or logistics and production processes, or increasing efficiency, introducing new precast products, planning logistics and assembly, or providing technical advice and support.

It is unique in the world. Independent, with over 40 years of German engineering and architectural experience and projects all over the world.

Think integrated

Efficiency increase by a factor of 4-5: Compared to in-situ concrete or brick construction, efficiency could be increased by a factor of 4-5. Through our service, the following is possible when the planning of a precast concrete plant is carried out by GERICON:

- Investment cost reduction by 5-15 %
- Increase in production by 12- 16 %
- Increase in productivity by 10- 15 %

that is millions of euros for just one large precast plant.

Up to 5 times faster: A real-life example: it takes 0.9 days to assemble a 260 m2 apartment building with precast concrete, while it takes 4.4 days with in-situ concrete. The time saving is enormous.

Industrialized construction system

Simply clever. Cleverly simple. Industrialized building requires a different way of thinking than that which currently prevails in traditional building technology with in-situ concrete or bricks. It requires thinking in terms of complex construction processes, clever detailed solutions under constantly changing conditions. It is not nearly enough to simply build a factory for prefabricated concrete parts on a greenfield site and get started. Failure would be predetermined, as examples from practice show.

Precast is a system, not a machine

The challenge of an engineering process is to anticipate difficulties ahead of construction. Only integrated planning and consulting services, from feasibility study, precast concrete design and precast concrete plant master planning to factory construction coordination and plant commissioning, guarantee the undeniable advantages of the precast concrete building system. Benefit from increased efficiency, reduced costs and increased planning flexibility and lower investment costs overall.

Integrated Services. Excellent Results.

The use of precast concrete elements fundamentally changes the entire construction process. Industrialised construction means 70% preparation, 30% execution. GERICON is your competent partner from the initial idea to the construction of the factory. Thanks to our holistic approach, the advantages of the complex precast concrete construction system can be fully exploited. Take advantage of our extensive know-how from more than four decades in the precast concrete industry and in particular the industrial production of precast concrete parts!
