Precast Benefits
Precast concrete is an ideal solution for this project thanks to its many benefits. Precast concrete is a cost-effective and efficient building material that allows for the speedy construction of walls, roofs, and other structures. The walls of this gymnasium are 16″ thick and comprised of layers that provide structural, insulation, and aesthetic value. The roof is a pre-topped double tee that is capable of withstanding all ICC 500 loading and debris criteria.
Electrical conduits and boxes are cast directly into the panels, eliminating the need for additional materials or furring on the interior. The exterior walls feature a blend of thin brick to create a colorful wave pattern, creating a visually pleasing effect. Precast concrete is also highly durable and resistant to weathering, making it a great choice for a storm shelter.
