Elevator / Stair Shaft

Shear Walls

Architectural Precast Wall Panels are secured into the building ’s super-structure and offer a wide range of decorative finishes.

Structural Precast Wall Panels are built to resist and stabilize roof, floor, and lateral building loads.

Insulated Precast Wall Panels feature both structural properties and architectural abilities which include a thermal insulation layer between the interior and exterior concrete wythe.

Elevator / Stair Shaft Precast Wall Panels are used with stairs, landings, and openings for quick and efficient installation, offering a time saving alternative over masonry or wood based products.

Shear Precast Wall Panels provide the structures with lateral load stability.

TYPES OF WALLS

A TOTAL SOLUTION

Total Precast The elements of the building, including walls, floors, columns, beams, and even façade panels, are manufactured off-site in a controlled environment. Precast elements are then transported to the construction site and assembled. The integration of precast components offers many advantages, such as accelerated construction timelines, enhanced durability, and consistent quality. The modular nature allows for customization in design, enabling you to explore innovative aesthetics while adhering to structural requirements.

Ohio Data Center

Powering Hyperscale Data with a Full Precast Structure Located in a rapidly expanding digital hub, this Ohio Data Center is designed for hyperscale data operations with a complete precast concrete structure. The building features structural gray precast insulated and solid wall panels, double tees, stairs, solid slabs, columns and beams — engineered for strength, speed, and efficiency. To meet an aggressive schedule, erection crews utilized a two-crane setup, with precast components sourced from multiple facilities. This allowed for parallel production and streamlined delivery, keeping the project on pace despite its complexity. Precast sped up installation while providing the strength and precision needed for a mission-critical facility.
