PERMAcast is Western Australia’s largest producer of bridge and infrastructure precast products — their beams weigh up to 120 tonnes a piece. At that scale, controlled accelerated curing isn’t optional. It’s a regulatory requirement.
When order volumes surged and PERMAcast invested in new European formwork technology, they needed a curing system that could keep up. After a worldwide evaluation, they came to us.

What We Built
We designed a complete, season-independent curing system tailored to their energy demands and local statutory requirements:
1. CureSteam generator — sized for the climate and the workload
2. 90 m × 10 m motor-driven tent enclosure — the operator pours, presses start on the touch panel, and walks away. The tent closes automatically before the 24-hour curing cycle begins, and opens again when it’s done. No one needs to watch the clock.
3. CureSteam PLC controls temperature, humidity, and timing — fully automated, no manual intervention
4. Custom container solution — sound-insulated, thermally insulated, with lighting, ventilation, and air conditioning. It doubles as a fully equipped equipment room on site.
Our engineers spent two weeks on site for installation, commissioning, and operator training.

Why a Tent?
Let’s be honest — for many applications, tent chambers aren’t the first choice. Insulation is lower, and durability is limited compared to fixed chambers.
But when you’re curing long-span beams and columns that don’t fit inside conventional chambers, the tent is the most practical approach. And with the right automation, it doesn’t compromise on the cure.
What it delivers:
✔ Stable temperature and humidity for early strength development — and less risk of cracking and crazing from excessive evaporation
✔ Clean, protected surfaces — no sun, wind, dust, or airborne contamination
✔ Fully automated timing — the tent handles the schedule, so your people don’t have to

Bottom Line
We don’t do one-size-fits-all. For PERMAcast, that meant integrating steam generation, a purpose-built enclosure, and software control for humidity, temperature, and air circulation into one system that works regardless of the Western Australian climate.
Because when you’re casting 120-tonne beams, curing shouldn’t be the thing that slows you down.
