concrete by using an integrated handling system that is removable after the installation is completed, said method comprising:
a. manufacturing in a mold the prefabricated structure made of reinforced concrete, by positioning in an upper part of the
mold the above-mentioned handling system which comprises external surfaces and fixation means to fix said system in a removable
way to the prefabricated structure, and by pouring concrete against the external surfaces of the handling system to form said
prefabricated structure directly on it;
b. unmoulding the prefabricated structure from the mold by using the handling system;
c. installing the prefabricated structure at the building site by using again the handling system; and
d. removing the handling system from the prefabricated structure by detaching its fixation means.
