Proj Overview

After being at their current Kia location since 2010, H+H Kia is moving to a new facility in the all-new Steel Ridge development at Highway 370 & I-80 in Papillion, NE. The Kia dealership will boast an office / showroom, and a separate service area. The new building’s exterior will feature metal panels,
glass, and precast concrete finished with an acid etch.

The precast concrete used a standard mix with a blend of white and gray cement. The structure  utilized 79 insulated precast concrete wall panels equaling 26,127 square feet. Precast concrete was chosen for this project for its speed of construction, versatility, and energy efficiency.

Key Project Attributes

This was a complex design, so from a production standpoint it took much longer to set up than a typical job. There was a great deal of effort required to make sure that everything was in the correct spot. The project was built up in form with plywood,  setting it ¾” off the production floor. The precaster also had to crane the pieces of granite into the plant (to be set and then cast into the precast) each day, taking great care so not to damage or break them.

Project/Precast Scope

The structure  utilized 79 insulated precast concrete wall panels equaling 26,127 square feet.
