Prestressed ribs slab

The prestressed ribs (Poutrelle en beton précontraint) are precast elements manufactured by slip forming concrete. Combined with hollow blocks, they shape a flooring system with many advantages. The hollow blocks can be in two shapes. First, the standard hourdi block gives a straight finish ready to be plastered, mainly used for apartment floors. Second the arch block gives an aesthetical finish for parking and schools. The prestressed ribs come in two dimensions and can span from 3 meters up to 8 meters.
