Decorative precast concrete fences and walls are used for a variety of purposes, such as privacy, security, freeway sound barriers, and perimeter safety barriers.
AFTEC’s StoneTree™ Fence Wall Forming System offers the versatility of using various types of architectural designs and textures, including stone, block, brick and stucco.
AFTEC’s Precast Concrete Fence Wall Forms and Form Liners are vital to the efficient production and quality of decorative precast concrete walls with identical textures on both sides.
Precast Concrete Forming Systems Precast Concrete Fence Products
Efficiency, safety, and versatility are of utmost importance in the design considerations we use for our precast concrete forming products. We then incorporate many years of knowledge and experience surrounded with quality workmanship, for designing and manufacturing top of the line precast concrete forms, fence wall systems and concrete form liners for the highly competitive construction market. Our products include:
Features: Our StoneTree™ Architectural
Precast Concrete Forms are designed around the fast growing demand
(The
Freedonia group March 2005) for decorative precast fence walls. AFTEC
incorporated several innovative state-of-the-art features
into the StoneTree™ Product Line, making it the premier
fence wall forming system in the marketplace.
Our Innovative Features include:
AFTEC Patented Combo-Cast™ column and panel cast as a single unit eliminates over 50% of the labor and hoisting equipment requirements in the manufacturing, handling and installation
AFTEC Proprietary Rigid Footing Support (Patent Pending) eliminates the requirements of footing cages, temporary bracing, column grouting and aids tremendously in safety and efficient installation
AFTEC Proprietary Forming Equipment (Patent Pending) provides for the efficient casting of multiple Combo-Cast™ fence wall units with identical texture and design on both sides of the casting, drastically reducing the labor and working area required
AFTEC Versatile Method of Form Liner Exchange enables the versatility of being able to use multiple textures such as stone fence, brick wall, stucco, block wall, and architectural designs in the same forming machine.
Efficiency: StoneTree™ Forming Systems are the most efficient systems in the marketplace of building a comparable concrete wall. The labor requirements for manufacturing and installing a six feet high concrete fence wall, based upon our local customers experience, are as follows: A crew of three including an experienced construction foreman can manufacture on the jobsite and install an average of 90 lineal feet of fence wall per day including the footings with one forming system. Labor and equipment efficiencies improve with additional forming systems. Additional cost for handling, shipping and labor inefficiencies may need to be adjusted for casting in a central location.
The illustration above compares the installation of a traditional precast panel and column fence wall on the top and AFTEC’s new proprietary system with the Combo-Cast™ integrated column and concrete fence panel unit on the bottom. The AFTEC system has less than one-half the precast panel and column pieces making the install time substantially faster. At every step of the process including set-up, manufacturing, handling, transportation and installation, AFTEC’s system requires less than half the amount of labor and lifting equipment as a comparable masonry or precast wall. Please visit our proprietary concrete forming technology for more information.
Safety: The StoneTree™ Fence Wall System is the safest full panel precast system in the marketplace, strong enough to be hurricane resistance walls. Our Combo-Cast panel and column units combined with our rigid footing supports result in the safest working environment possible for installing concrete walls of this type. Anyone who has been involved with large precast wall installations knows the imminent danger to crews and the public until the precast has been placed and permanently secured. With our system’s design, it is permanently secured when properly placed on the rigid support footing. You won’t loose sleep worrying about someone tampering with your temporary bracing or your walls blowing over before the grouting is completed and cured.
Versatility: StoneTree™ Fence Wall Systems have many uses in the marketplace. The most common is for decorative concrete fences which surround the perimeter of residential and commercial properties and often divide them apart from each other (screen walls). In the past concrete block has traditionally been used for this purpose, but precast fence wall products are rapidly overtaking this application of concrete block due to the ascetic pleasing appearance of architectural designs and textures and the efficiencies offered by precast including the elimination of skilled masonry personnel. Other uses may include security fence walls, concrete retaining walls, sound wall barriers and privacy fences. Some textures that may be used are stone, brick, block, stucco, architectural designs and custom designed appearances.
