Concrete Repairs – Pre-Cast Concrete
Pre-cast panels with a non-shrink grout to fill the annular space between the old concrete and the pre-cast panel offer a good alternative for concrete repairs. Panels must be securely attached to the original structure.
Advantages:
1. Total control of concrete strength and durability.
2. No freeze-thaw concerns as long as adequate anchoring to original structure.
3. Armor, insulation and other inserts can be built integral with the panels
Disadvantages:
1. Initial repair costs can be higher, but most be weighed against long-term durability
2. Requires substantial site access and space for heavy 
equipment and panels
