  • Patent number: 8597564
    Abstract: There is provided a process for producing precast concrete parts, in particular pylon segments. Concrete is poured into a casting mold with a planar bottom for producing a planar underside. After the concrete has reached at least a minimum strength an equalization layer is applied to a join surface of the precast concrete part that is opposite to the underside. As soon as the equalization layer has reached the minimum strength, the precast concrete part is placed on a horizontally oriented surface and the equalization layer on the top side is removed in a plane-parallel relationship with the underside.
