- Abstract
The article titled "Keep it simple" emphasizes the importance of simple gray concrete in the precast concrete industry. While glamorous architectural projects often receive attention, the article highlights that slabs, panels, and hollow-core are the building blocks of projects and businesses. These basic forms of prestressed concrete offer great economy and capability. The article encourages the use of deck panels and hollow-core systems, highlighting their benefits such as fast construction, low floor-to-floor heights, sound transmission qualities, fire resistance, and durability. The author concludes by appreciating the beauty and importance of simple concrete products in creating a vibrant built environment.
