Elevating Construction
Construction revolution
The utilization of precast machinery and technology is revolutionizing the construction industry by offering efficient and sustainable solutions for producing concrete elements. This advanced equipment, which encompasses formwork systems, mixers, casting machines, and curing chambers, facilitates the mass production of high-quality components with precision. Automation optimizes the manufacturing process, enhancing productivity while reducing labor and material costs. With adaptable designs, precast machinery enables the swift assembly of structures, ranging from residential buildings to bridges, thereby improving project timelines and construction efficiency. Furthermore, the integration of innovative technologies like 3D printing enhances precision, leading to the development of more sustainable environments.
CONCRETE DELIVERY SYSTEM
The concrete delivery system with bridge is designed for the automatic supply of fresh concrete from the batching plant to a casting machine (Extruder and/or Slipformer). A flying bucket transports the concrete either via a rack or from a fixed silo to the point where concreting is required.
Cycle times, line bucket sizes or the bed for the line bucket are designed to customer specifications and adjusted to the function of the casting machine (Extruder and/or Slipformer) and to the finished parts to be produced and the rate of production. The system is constructed in such a way that the concreting process on the beds does not have to be interrupted because of a lack of fresh concrete.
COLUMNS AND FOUNDATION PLINTHS
Thanks to our constant development and innovation we are a reliable partner with a large range of solutions, designed according to customer specifications, for the production of columns and foundation plinths, used both in industrial and in residential construction, as well as in infrastructure projects. Our moulds offer technological solutions meeting perfectly the requirements of the modern precast concrete technology. We supply moulds for columns with or without consoles, in fixed or variable positions, and in various sizes and shapes, suitable to the most varied construction specifications, ensuringh high level quality. The use of stop end plates makes it possible to cast different finished elements in the same mould.
PRODUCTION BEDS
Pre-stressed or loosely reinforced precast concrete elements can be efficiently manufactured on production beds. Our many years of experience enable us to provide beds made to customer specifications.
The use of concrete beneath the steel plates and thus creating a solid production bed gives you the following important benefits.
- Significantly reducing the energy consumption costs for heating the beds due to the concrete core activation
- A smoother bottom finish of the produced elements due to the solid bed
- Very long lifetime
ROOF AND CEILING ELEMENTS
We design and manufacture moulds for the manufacture of reinforced concrete or reinforced concrete roof structures and ceiling elements, which are suitable for residential, industrial and commercial buildings:
- V and Y elements
- End and intermediate elements
- Roof gutter and edge girders for roof structures

- I and T reverse girders
- Double ribbed girders with hollow core and flat ceiling
AUTOMATION OF REINFORCEMENT
Modern pallet carousel systems for the manufacture of precast concrete elements require automation concepts for prefabrication of rebar. Wire Center processes rebar from coil fully automatically and relocates cross reinforcement with and without spacers, longitudinal reinforcement and lattice girders to CAD specifications. These modern robotics improve production output, optimise procedures, increase dimensional accuracy and contribute to minimising errors.

Stressing on the site
For prestressing on the construction site we supply multi-stressing jacks in rugged steel design or in lightweight construction, portable or wheel-mounted pump units, large pneumatic-tired strand pushing machines, with remote control on a cable or radio control, anchor wedges and a wide range of accessories.
- Bridges – Our product range for bridge construction includes a wide selection of stressing jacks, hydraulic units, pushing machines, anchor grips and handling equipment.
- Stay cables – Engineers have already dealt with stay cable technology for spanning rivers or canyons long before the invention of prestressed concrete. Nowadays, stay cables are prestressed and are thus considerably contributing to the span and stability of the structure.
- Towers – The efficiency of wind power plants increases with the hub height. Particularly in the onshore sector, the required wind conditions with low turbulences and constant/high speed can only be found in higher wind layers.
- Geotechnical engineering – Another major field of application for machines and equipment from Paul is geotechnics. Geotechnics often isn’t noticed in everyday life; however, it isn’t only used in mountainous regions for slope stabilization, for instance, but in many cases also on construction sites and in building pits.
- Anchor manufacturing – Paul produces manual, semiautomatic or fully automatic anchor manufacturing equipment for cost-effective and time-saving preparation of tendons for use on the construction site for bridges, stay cables, geotechnical engineering or wind power towers.
Production in the factory
We supply all installation components, machines and accessories for prestressing on casting beds. They include the permanent components, such as abutment anchor posts, transverse anchor plates etc. Also when choosing mobile stressing equipment, our large product range always provides the appropriate solution.
- Precast concrete factory – Precast concrete elements for structural engineering are efficiently produced with consistent quality at the precast concrete factory. Paul provides advice and supplies casting bed equipment for beams, roof trusses, Pi slabs, flat slabs as well as smaller bar-shaped elements and bridging joists.
- Sliding mould production – Hollow core slabs or flat elements are endlessly produced on long casting beds using slide formers or extruders. After setting of the concrete the elements are sawn to the requested length.
- Pole production – Prestressed concrete poles for advertising beams visible from a long distance, power lines, signal posts or other applications are produced at the precast concrete factory in a cost-efficient and effective manner and with consistent quality using various methods.
Sleeper production
We supply automatic stressing and destressing equipment for the various processes in the production of prestressed concrete sleepers. This includes CNC-controlled button-heading equipment, automatic stressing and destressing machines with built-in spindle extractors for sleeper production in stress-resisting moulds.
For another process we supply automatic machinery for stressing the wires in hardened sleepers. Robots are also used here, and can prestress a large number of sleepers quickly and accurately.
- Carousel systems – ack sleepers with identical outlines are produced as bulk goods in rigid moulds on carousel systems. Due to the low variety of elements it would make sense to use a (semi) automatic system with a high repeat accuracy, which reduces staff requirement.
- Long-line system – Turnout sleepers as well as track sleepers are produced on long casting beds. The turnout sleeper which is uniform in cross section is particularly suited for this method; it is produced in a string and sawn to length as required. If the lengths per bed covering are known, mould end plates are used as well between the sleepers.
Strand lifting technology
Since 1955, we have developed and built stressing jacks and hydraulic pump units for the manufacture of prestressed concrete products, and since 1986 have also supplied a series of strand jacks with mechanical anchor heads. The company‘s many years of experience in these fields and DaSTec‘s hands-on practical expertise have been channelled into the development of new, efficient and durable products for strand lifting applications.
