Kiwi Precast
Advantages
Kiwi CarPark
Our precast manufacturing supports the modular Kiwi CarPark System, delivering durable, low-maintenance parking structures with enhanced safety and efficient project completion through our advanced prefabricated construction process.
Total Precast Building System
“Total Precast” is a construction method where all major structural and architectural components are made from precast concrete.
The Kiwi Precast System leverages this approach, enabling complete prefabrication of walls, floors, and beams in a controlled environment. This ensures precision, reduces on-site labor, and accelerates project timelines.
By integrating Total Precast with our Design-Build methodology, the Kiwi Precast System delivers enhanced durability, reduced maintenance, and cost efficiency. This approach allows for faster, more predictable project completion, providing high-performance buildings across various applications, from parking structures to residential projects.
Having a long history in construction combined with value engineering for the manufacturing industry, Kiwi Newton is a leader in modular and prefabricated construction methods.
Structural Precast Elements form the backbone of durable, efficient building designs. Kiwi Newton’s expertise in manufacturing these components ensures high-quality, precision-engineered solutions that enhance the strength and longevity of any structure.
Exterior Structural Walls
The exterior wall element is manufactured using precast concrete. Before pouring the concrete into the mold, electrical conduit is positioned to be embedded within the wall.
The wall serves as the building envelope, encompassing functions such as air barrier, moisture barrier, and rain screen/cladding. Continuous external insulation and thermally broken facade clips, along with windows and patio doors, are installed in the factory. As a result, this single wall element serves structural, architectural, electrical, and building envelope functions.
Notably, with insulation on the exterior, the interior side of the wall features a smooth, form-finished concrete, which can be easily painted. This eliminates the need for drywall or interior framing or vapour barrier.
Interior Structural Walls
The interior wall element is not required to serve building envelope functions; however, it still provides structural, architectural and electrical functions similar to the exterior walls.
Plumbing can also be directly integrated into these walls to create a ‘wet wall’ assembly, which is highly efficient for bathroom, laundry room, and mechanical room walls. Thoughtful design can result in one ‘wet wall’ serving a bathroom on one side and the kitchen on the other.
Interior structural walls are made of precast concrete and can be used for elevator shafts, stair towers, corridor walls, and any other structural purposes. These walls can also feature smooth surfaces, allowing for a simple painted finish. Door frames, openings and windows are all installed in the shop and integrated into the wall.
Maximum part size for automation line: 9.4m x 4m (31×13 feet)
Pretensioned Floor Plates
The floor panel serves several crucial functions for the building. These panels are constructed from prestressed precast concrete, providing the structural capability to span up to 12.3 meters (41 feet) x 3m (10 feet wide).
Before pouring the concrete, hydronic lines are placed into the floor mold to facilitate the heating and cooling of the building. This utilizes core activation of the substantial thermal mass of concrete for efficient interior temperature control, adhering to the building science principles of Thermally Active Building Sytems (T.A.B.S.) enhancing efficiency.
In the factory, sprinkler piping can be embedded into the beams of the floor panel, requiring only on-site connections and sprinkler head installations. This adds fire suppression to the list of functions performed by the floor element.
Similar to the exterior and interior wall elements, the floor includes an electrical function achieved by embedding conduit lines and boxes into the mold before pouring the concrete.
Columns and Beams
Our precast columns and beams are engineered for precision and strength, providing the essential support needed for large spans and complex structures, ensuring stability and safety.
Precast Stairs
Precast stairs provide numerous advantages, including quick installation, consistent quality, and enhanced durability.
Manufactured off-site in controlled environments, they are ready for immediate installation upon arrival, reducing on-site labor and construction time.
Precast stairs are designed to meet stringent safety standards and are highly resistant to wear, making them a long-lasting solution for any building.
This approach guarantees optimal efficiency and structural integrity.
Precast Foundations
Precast foundations offer significant benefits, including enhanced durability, precision, and faster installation.
Manufactured off-site in controlled conditions, they ensure consistent quality and reduce on-site errors. Depending on the specific project requirements, Kiwi will evaluate whether precast or cast-in-place foundations are the best option, ensuring the most effective and efficient solution for each project.
This flexibility allows for optimized performance and cost-efficiency in any construction scenario.

Architectural Precast
Architectural precast concrete provides exceptional durability, making it a great choice for building facades that endure the elements while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Kiwi Newton leverages this technology to deliver visually striking and long-lasting exteriors.
In our parking structures, architectural precast elements are used to create bold facades that make strong architectural statements. These components allow for intricate designs and textures, transforming functional structures into aesthetically striking landmarks.
Additionally, precast walls provide essential fire separation between buildings and can be used in snow drop areas to prevent snow from entering the structure. These solutions are customizable, offering unique designs while ensuring the strength and resilience necessary for a wide range of construction projects.
Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a cutting-edge material known for its exceptional strength, durability, and longevity. Kiwi Newton utilizes UHPC in our precast concrete solutions to create highly resilient structures that withstand extreme environmental conditions and heavy usage.
In parking structures, UHPC precast elements are integral to the Kiwi CarPark System. This system leverages the superior properties of UHPC to deliver thinner, lighter, and more durable components, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced maintenance over the structure’s lifespan.
Kiwi Newton’s expertise in UHPC precast allows us to design and construct parking structures and other facilities that not only meet but exceed industry standards. Our use of UHPC ensures that every project benefits from enhanced performance, sustainability, and aesthetic flexibility.
