    What’s the difference between Wet Cast vs Dry Cast?

    Did you know we manufacture both wet cast and dry cast precast products? We sure do! However, do you know the difference between Wet Cast vs Dry Cast? We get asked that question A LOT! Let’s discuss.

    Difference #1 – Curing Process

    One difference between them is how they are cured. Additionally, a Wet Cast product is cured in its form (or mould), whereas a Dry Cast product is stripped from its jacket and then cured. Our Perfect Pipe (shown here for example) is a Wet Cast product.

    Difference #2 – Strength

    What are the strength differences? The answer is simple: there are no strength differences. Concast manufactures both to meet the same industry standards for precast products. Our Tri-Span products (shown here) are Wet Cast made and meet all requirements for a wide range of robust applications.

    Difference #3 – Quality

    Is there a quality difference? Absolutely not! The main difference between them is how they are manufactured. Both have the same quality you’ve come to expect from Concast products that you can depend on. Our reinforced concrete pipes (shown here) are manufactured both ways, depending on the size.

    Wet Cast vs Dry Cast

    Concast offers both Wet Cast and Dry Cast products. Although they may be made different in their manufacturing processes, both products are extremely durable and have the same quality levels.
