Since 2007 Zaklad Elementow Konstrukcyjnych (Z.E.K.), a Polish company, a leader in the production of electrowelded lattice girder, started developing a new precast element with the aim of optimizing slabs’ production. The main purpose of this project was to provide a new, faster placing and casting system for the slabs, limiting the casting area with concrete modular elements, low cast and easy to use. After a num- ber of experiments, Z.E.K. achieved its final target: an “L” or “U” element, available in several dimensions, reinforced by an electrowelded special mesh bent at 90°.
