Equipped for the future
Pruksa Real Estate Plc. in Thailand has ambitious goals. They want to be the number 1 property brand with their customers and be among the top 10 housing companies in Asia.
Pruksa Real Estate Plc. was founded by Thongma Vijitponpun in 1993 and specialises in the construction of semi-detached and detached houses as well as owner-occupied housing. Their activities are not confined to Thailand, but they also run construction projects in India, Vietnam and the Maldives. The award-winning public limited company has entered the precast concrete industry in 2005. Back then Weckenmann already supplied the company with its first circulation system.
In Factory No. 7 not only the plants originated from Weckenmann, but also the planning and design of the new plant for the production of pre-tensioned floor slabs. The factory building houses a total 1,400 m of production lines, divided among two halls, each with six lines. There are also numerous specialist machines such as concrete spreaders, mobile magazine for shutters, saws to cut the reinforcement strands, cleaners/oilers, run-off truck, bucket conveyor and concreting shuttle, a recycling plant for the mixing plant and a sophisticated shuttering system. The individual machines are all transported over a transversal transport platform from one line to another.
In a single run more than 3,000 m² of floor slabs can be produced per day in Factory No. 7; an amount that goes far beyond the capacities of the previous floor slab production facilities. This makes the new plant a key project to achieve the strategic expansion of the company in the coming years.
In addition to Factory No. 7 Weckenmann equipped the construction company with two battery moulds with 20 cases each, which are used for the production of partition walls. These battery moulds were the first of their kind acquired by Pruksa Real Estate Plc. in order to produce smooth concrete surfaces on both sides and eliminate the need for any post-processing.
