Benefits of Precast Concrete
- Environmentally Friendly: With the exception of water, concrete is the most frequently used material on earth. It is nontoxic and made from natural materials, making it an ideal material for on-site wastewater (septic) tanks. Used throughout North America in various applications, concrete does not affect groundwater or surface water quality.
- Strength: Precast concrete strengthens over a period of time. Being structurally sound allows precast concrete on-site wastewater tanks to be pumped empty without fear of having the tank collapse.
- Resistant: Precast concrete on-site wastewater tanks have a specific gravity of 2.40 which allows the tank to resist buoyant forces better than a tank made from lightweight materials.
- Watertight: When produced in accordance with ASTM C 1227 best practices, precast concrete can be made watertight. Call Hoyte’s today to learn more about our Adirondack septic tank offerings.
