Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1362680A2] This invention relates to prestressed concrete units, to a method of manufacture of prestressed concrete units and to a mould system for use in such a method. The invention provides a method of manufacturing a prestressed concrete unit using a mould system comprising an elongate mould containing at least one prestressed element and an elongate hopper having an aperture, comprising the steps of locating at least one reinforcing element in a substantially perpendicular orientation to said mould; filling the elongate mould with concrete to form a first portion of the unit; locating the hopper over said reinforcing element in a substantially perpendicular orientation with the mould; and filling the hopper with concrete such that the concrete flows through the aperture to contact the concrete of the first portion. <IMAGE>
