cast/poured on-site Explanation: not my field but found the following http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/search?source=auto&quer... http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/vaciado de c... http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/search?source=auto&quer... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2012-07-26 12:21:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- so, it seems like these various elements can be poured or cast on site I guess if there is something pre-cast, then you would just use "positioned" or "placed" on site |

cast-in-place Explanation: The correct technical term for this is "cast-in-place", as opposed to precast, when the concrete is poured off-site. http://www.advanceconcreteproducts.com/1/acp/precast_vs_cast... Precast Concrete Saves You Time Pre-cast concrete eliminates many of the time-consuming tasks involved with cast-in-place. With pre-cast concrete, you and your crew won’t have to haul, set or remove forms. Nor will you have to wait for a concrete truck to arrive or concrete to cure. And never will you have to worry about your concrete setting-up in the truck or performing on-site strength tests. All you have to do is dig a hole. We do the rest. What does this add up to for you? An average of 2 days shaved off the duration of your project when you use pre-cast concrete. http://www.advanceconcreteproducts.com/1/acp/why_precast.asp |
