Embedding thin brick into precast concrete panels seems second nature to most, but do you have a best practice to prevent problems and resolve issues when they arise? PCI’s Architectural Precast Concrete Committee has developed a Best Practices for Embedding Clay Thin Brick into Precast Concrete for you. This session will use the new document to demonstrate the proactive and reactive actions to be taken when producing brick clad precast components.
