Certainly you can cast PC in panels for use in non-structural
(divider) walls. With no tests available to me, I can't be certain,
but I would bet they make very good soundproofing. I would say
thickness would vary by application. I would probably go with 1.5-2"
thick panels to start with, and sandwich two of them together with
space between for conduit and to make outlet placement viable.

Obviously, my post is merely speculation. It would be great if one of
the folks with practical experience in PC walls would chime in.
