Key Project Attributes

  • Cranes setting the precast concrete walls had to reach higher and farther with every increase in level.” There were three cranes on the jobsite: two rentals and the contractor’s tower crane.
  • The project was subject to progressive collapse criteria developed by the Department of Defense. These design requirements reduce the potential of progressive collapse for new and existing facilities that experience localized structural damage due to normally unforeseeable events.

Project/Precast Scope

  • 911 pieces of precast concrete
  • 9-inch-thick insulated panels   
  • Building sits on 72 acres and includes six-story, 122-bed hospital
