PRECAST PLANT

One of the company’s assets is its use of the Precast Construction System. . This enables

enables faster construction, easy standardization, cost-effectiveness, high-quality finish and

enhanced facade design. The total area of the precast plant is 100,000 m2 and has a production

capacity of 72,000 cubic meter per year in which they could produce a total of 6,000 cubic meter

per month. The company uses highly-innovative systems such as carousel lines, various

specialized welding machines, and a battery mould section. The Megawide Precast Plant is

regarded as one of the largest and most advanced in Southeast Asia.

MEGAWIDE PRECAST PRODUCTS

Precast products are considered as a modern and multipurpose building material for any

type of a building. It could be used in construction of affordable housing, commercial centers

and industrial buildings.

Megawide produces products such as exterior and interior walls, half slabs, stairs, beams,

toilet and columns. For their exterior wall products, they offer plain flat, plain flat with opening,

plain flat with ledge and complex exterior walls. The company creates plain flat and plain flat

with opening for their interior wall products. For their half slab products, the company

manufactures void slab, half slab with butterfly connection and light weight slab which is made

of styro with toppings. The precast stair that the company manufactures has four variations and

these are without steel nosing, with steel nosing, half landing and stair landing. Aside from that,

the company also creates U beam and half beam. Their precast column products are consists of

warehouse column system, column with corbel and column with fence. They also make products

such as balconies, ledges, wheel stopper, curbs and gutters and light weight concrete with styro

and toppings.
PLANT VISIT REPORT

Last September 1, 2018, we have been able to visit Megawide Precast Plant in Taytay,

Rizal. Before we began the plant tour, the safety engineers instructed us first about the do’s and

don’ts inside the plant. They also presented a short background about their company. They told

us that aside from a precast plant, the company also has a batching plant. They also talked about

the successful projects of the company. I have seen some of the buildings that their company had

built and it was amazing to know that these were built using precast concrete. They also talk

about the precast products that they manufacture.

During our tour, we have been accompanied by their safety engineer who serves us our

tour guide which explains the details of the process inside the plant. The first process that we saw

inside the plant was the preparation of steel mesh. The company has its own Mesh Welding

Machine, a robotic machine that automatically welds the rebars for pre-cast reinforcements.

However, the rebars are still manually tied by the workers. Aside from that, the lattice girders for

their half slab precast product are ordered which means that they are not made by the company.

The next process that we saw is the concrete distribution. The concrete distribution is not that

difficult especially because the company has its own mold for different precast products. The

concrete distribution is also aided by a machine which makes the pouring of concrete easier.

They also have an automatic shake table which aids the compaction of concrete. The safety

engineer also told us that their workers still manually screed the surface of the precast wall using

vibratory screed to ensure that the concrete is well-compacted and the surface of the products are

smooth. We also witness how the products are automatically transported. Instead of waiting for

28 days, they also have a different way of curing the concrete which was more time-efficient.

The workers also practice care in transferring products to avoid cracks. For the last part of our

tour, the safety engineer presented their finished products. I observed that the products have

holes in order to fasten the product. For the toilet products, they also provided space for electrical

wirings. The safety engineer also shows a 5-story building inside the plant which was

constructed using their precast product.

 I really enjoyed the visit and it was really amazing to see how precast products are

manufactured. This kind of activity gave us opportunity to broaden our learnings and able to

explore more concepts and applications in Civil engineering field.
