This paper presents the various application of precast concrete in the construction industry in Indonesia. Following the rapid development of high strength and high performance concrete technology in the past two decades, the precast concrete is now widely applied in many kinds of construction work, e.g. aircraft hangar, cable stayed overpass, long-span bridges, multi-span bridges, multi-storey buildings, town houses, stadiums, industrial buildings, and others. In most of cases, the precast concrete technology is combined with high strength concrete and prestressed concrete technology that may in fact improve the construction quality and reduce the construction time. Therefore, precast concrete is potentially being a good way to achieve higher efficiency in the concrete construction industry in the future.
