Western Australian Large-Scale Precast Producer Adopts CureTec Accelerated Curing to Solve High-Precision Challenges for 120-Ton Bridge Girders
A major precast concrete producer in Western Australia—specializing in large-scale infrastructure components such as bridge girders and drainage systems—faced growing demand for high-quality, custom-engineered elements. With individual beams weighing up to 120 tons, precise accelerated curing became essential to meet strict regulatory and performance standards.
To support its expansion, the client adopted advanced European formwork technology and evaluated concrete curing solutions worldwide. CureTec was selected for its German-engineered approach that combines industrial automation, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
- A motorized, fully automated tent (90 m long × 10 m wide)
- An integrated steam generator
- The CureSteam PLC-controlled automation system
- A customized, insulated container serving as an on-site operations room—equipped with HVAC, lighting, soundproofing, and ventilation
Operation is fully streamlined: after casting, operators initiate the curing cycle via a touch panel. The tent automatically closes, runs a precise 24-hour curing program, and reopens upon completion—eliminating the need for manual timing or supervision.
