Rathbourne Wharf: Advancing Multi-Story Construction with Precast Concrete and MMC

Flood Precast is proud to share the latest progress on the Rathbourne Wharf development, where we have successfully completed the precast concrete frame on all three blocks of Phase 1. This milestone is a testament to our strong working relationship with Wall Construction Ltd and the benefits of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in multi-story building projects.

Efficiency, Speed, and Precision with MMC

By manufacturing concrete elements offsite, we are able to accelerate the construction program while maintaining exacting tolerances. Every component is designed and produced to fit perfectly on installation, reducing delays and improving the overall quality of the build. Offsite production also minimizes the amount of work required at height, significantly enhancing on-site safety for all team members. MMC and precast concrete not only speed up construction timelines but also ensure a higher level of precision and consistency compared to traditional methods. These benefits are particularly important in multi-story developments, where accuracy and efficiency are critical to keeping projects on schedule.

Phase 2 Progress

Phase 2 is also progressing well with precast concrete installation now completed on Blocks 1, 2& 3. Façade works and fit-out are advancing steadily, showcasing the seamless integration of offsite and on-site processes.

Sustainability and Safety Benefits

In addition to speed and precision, offsite precast production supports sustainability goals. By reducing on-site waste and minimising environmental impact, this approach promotes greener construction practices. Combined with improved safety through reduced on-site labour at height, MMC and offsite precast provide a smarter, safer, and more efficient way to build.

Looking Ahead The Rathbourne Wharf project demonstrates how collaboration, innovation, and modern construction methods can deliver high-quality, durable structures efficiently and safely. We look forward to continuing this momentum and sharing further updates as the development progresses
