Whether you're planning a new facility, looking to improve the performance of an existing plant, or simply curious about the latest developments in precast manufacturing, this webinar will provide practical insights into how modern curing technology can improve efficiency, reduce costs and support more sustainable production.

Traditional boiler-based curing systems can be energy intensive, costly to operate and increasingly difficult to justify as manufacturers seek to improve efficiency, reduce emissions and lower operating costs.

In this Tech Talk webinar, André Dienst will explore the latest curing technologies that are helping precast manufacturers improve energy efficiency, enhance product quality and support more sustainable production.

Drawing on decades of international experience in automated precast manufacturing, André will share practical insights, real-world case studies and key considerations for manufacturers looking to upgrade existing curing systems or design new production facilities.

You will learn:

Why many precast manufacturers are moving beyond traditional boiler-based curing systems.
How modern curing technologies compare with conventional methods.
Practical opportunities to reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
How sustainable curing solutions can improve production efficiency while supporting carbon reduction goals.
Lessons learned from leading precast plants around the world.
Key factors to consider when evaluating curing technology for your own operation.

Is your business ready for the next generation of construction procurement?

Across Australia, government agencies, Tier 1 builders and major infrastructure clients are increasingly asking suppliers to provide product-specific carbon data as part of the tender process.

For precast manufacturers, this represents more than a compliance requirement. It's an opportunity to strengthen your competitive position, improve conversations with clients and be better prepared for future projects.

Join Esther Bailey, Chief Operating Officer at Rebuilt, as she explores how carbon transparency is changing the construction industry and what it means for precast manufacturers.

Drawing on National Precast's pilot programme with Rebuilt, Esther will share practical insights into how manufacturers can understand their product carbon footprint, respond confidently to customer enquiries and prepare for the evolving procurement landscape.

You will learn:

Why product-specific carbon data is becoming increasingly important in construction procurement.
How government policy and client expectations are driving change across the industry.
Why having both a credible carbon footprint and a carbon reduction roadmap will become increasingly valuable.
How National Precast's partnership with Rebuilt is helping members prepare for future tender requirements.
Practical examples from precast manufacturers already participating in the pilot programme.
Simple steps your business can take now to build confidence and stay ahead of industry change.

Whether you're just beginning your sustainability journey or looking to better understand how carbon data will influence future tenders, this webinar will provide practical guidance to help you prepare your business for the future.
