High Concrete Group LLC Key Project Attributes
- Fabricating the precast concrete components under controlled conditions in the plant ensured high quality and tight tolerances, minimizing field adjustments and speeding up erection time.
- Casting components off-site while site work was completed allowed precast concrete pieces to be ready for erection as soon as foundations were ready, speeding up construction.
- Long-span capabilities saved costs and provided better comfort for patrons while reducing number of steel pieces to be erected for support.
- Tub details include trough underneath the seat mount, canting the floor with embedded drains to provide new solution for cascading water.
- Components were designed to minimize deflection, vibration, and harmonics despite longer spans.
- RFID-BIM system tracked the speed of precast concrete piece installation. Overall, system saved 10 days and $1 million.
