Why Choose Elite Precast
With decades of precast expertise, in-house engineering support and a proven delivery record on projects of every scale, Elite Precast is the partner specifiers trust. We pair robust, repeatable manufacturing with the flexibility to engineer bespoke solutions when a standard product will not do.
Key Features & Benefits
High-Strength Precast Concrete - Engineered to withstand harsh external conditions, delivering long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
A1 Rated Fire-Resistant Properties - Concrete’s natural fire resistance supports EV safety strategies where battery thermal runaway is a consideration. Elite Precast concrete blocks do not burn, crack, or give off noxious fumes regardless of the intensity of the fire or time spent being exposed to the fire. This means that those outside the quarantined area are safe and that any fires are kept within the containment area until the fire service arrives.
Rapid Installation - Factory-manufactured units allow for fast, predictable installation, reducing on-site disruption and programme risk.
Design Options - Wall heights can be adapted to meet project-specific requirements.
Low Lifetime Cost - Durable construction reduces repair, replacement and maintenance costs over the asset’s lifespan.
UK Manufactured - All units are produced in the UK, ensuring quality control, reliable lead times and compliance with British standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is EV containment and protection walling?
EV containment and protection walling is a precast concrete block system designed to protect people, structures and infrastructure from EV fires and possible risks associated with electric vehicles. It is commonly used in EV repair garages, charging areas, car parks, depots and transport facilities to enhance safety and containment.
Why is precast concrete suitable for EV containment?
Precast concrete offers high strength, durability and inherent fire resistance, making it well suited to electric vehicle environments. Its A1 fire compliance helps reduce the spread of fire, while factory-controlled production ensures consistent quality and long-term reliability.
Can EV containment walling help with fire safety?
Yes. Concrete is a non-combustible material with excellent fire-resistant properties. EV containment walling can form part of a wider fire and safety strategy by helping to separate vehicles, protect adjacent assets and limit the spread of heat during an EV battery thermal event.
Where can EV containment and protection walling be used?
Elite Precast EV containment walling is suitable for a wide range of applications, including: • EV charging hubs and forecourts • Multi-storey and surface car parks • Fleet depots and logistics facilities • Commercial and residential developments • Public realm and transport infrastructure • Car repair centres and auction houses
Are the walling systems bespoke?
Yes. Elite Precast can design EV containment and protection walling to suit specific project requirements. Wall height, thickness, finishes and connection details can be tailored to suit site layouts and architectural considerations.
How quickly can precast EV containment walling be installed?
With large stocks available, the precast blocks are manufactured off-site and delivered ready for installation, allowing for faster and more predictable installation compared to in-situ construction. This helps reduce programme time, on-site disruption and health and safety risks
Does EV containment walling require ongoing maintenance?
Precast concrete containment walling requires minimal maintenance. Its durability and resistance to weathering, impact and corrosion make it a low whole-life cost solution for EV infrastructure.
Can the walling integrate with other precast or structural elements?
EV containment walling can be designed to integrate seamlessly with other precast concrete products, in-situ concrete works or wider structural systems as part of a coordinated construction solution.
Is Elite Precast EV containment walling manufactured in the UK?
Yes. All EV containment and protection walling systems are manufactured in the UK, ensuring quality control, reliable lead times and compliance with relevant British standards.
How do I specify EV containment walling for my project?
Elite Precast provides technical support from early design through to delivery and installation. Our team can assist with specifications, drawings and project-specific requirements to ensure the correct containment solution is selected.
UK Manufacturing & Nationwide Delivery
Every product is manufactured in the UK to recognised quality standards and delivered nationwide on a fleet built for site access. The result is shorter lead times, full control over quality, and the confidence of working with a British manufacturer.
