waste processing
fromn the description of a waste recovery plant:-
" .. rifiuto, privato dei metalli ferrosi, viene introdotto nella linea di “separazione sostanza organica ed inorganica”, la quale invia la componente organica alla linea “produzione pellet”, dalla quale ovviamente si otterrà combustibile solido tipo pellet e quella inorganica alla linea “metalli non ferrosi” e “produzione manufatti cementizi”; la prima si occupa di recuperare allumino e la seconda di produrre inerti per la produzione di manufatti cementizi"

Production of concrete structures
Generally concrete is used for the Italian cemento. And obviously here the production is for aggregates which will be used to for concrete, where of course cement is the other major ingredient.

Ruxi, you answered "Prefabricated". Which means to make the concrete structure, a slab perhaps, in a factory and then take it to the building site. The same applies to Cecilia's answer. These aggregates "inerti" could be used in a factory or they could be used directly on a building site to cast the concrete on site.

Note added at 19 hrs (2007-05-31 04:44:15 GMT) Post-grading
--------------------------------------------------
On balance proof reading next day as it were, I would just put production of concrete or even "to produce aggregates for concrete" punto e basta.

precast cementitious products/articles
I think this is it

: No reason why the aggregates can't be cast and mixed on site, rather than precast.

cement/concrete prefabricated
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete
in tuo caso si trata di prodotti come: cements, concretes, etc.
Per la loro produzione si aggiungono gli inerti (asbest, bitumen etc. - gli ho scritto in inglese già)

(manufactured) cement castings
cement is "cast", that is it is poured (in liquid state) into a mold of some sort (that can be a high tech specialized mold or a homemade one such as a couple of wooden beams around the perimeter to be filled) where it reaches its solid state.
