A mould assembly for manufacturing prefabricated concrete panels comprising an upper level for pouring a concrete mixture therefrom, and a lower level adapted to form a substantially vertical mould cavity for receiving said concrete mixture, wherein said substantially vertical mould cavity is adjustable to form concrete panels of varying dimensions.
A method of manufacturing prefabricated concrete panels comprising the steps of
- pouring a concrete mixture into a substantially vertical mould cavity having a mobile rear wall;
- allowing said concrete mixture to substantially set thereby forming a first prefabricated concrete panel;
- moving said mobile rear wall remote from said first prefabricated concrete panel thereby forming a further vertical mould cavity behind said first prefabricated concrete panel;
- and
- pouring a concrete mixture into said further vertical mould cavity to form a further prefabricated concrete panel behind said first concrete panel.
