Coreslab Structures was proud to complete the Ritter Communications Data Center in Jonesboro, AR in 2019. This project incorporated architectural form finishes, such as contrasting colors to create depth and texture, as well as incorporating Coreslab Structures’ precast concrete components. Utilizing our high-quality and durable precast concrete allowed the building to be designed to withstand even the harshest of weather, including 250 mph winds. This was made possible through the use of 44 insulated wall panels, 16 double tees, 2 flat slabs, and other structural precast elements.
The owner’s vision was to create a building that could withstand the elements while still complementing the other architectural finishes. Coreslab Structures rose to the challenge and successfully met the owner’s demands by providing high-quality precast components that could blend in with the other features. The project was completed on time and to the highest standards.
This job incorporated Architectural form finishes as noted in the pictures, and was painted contrasting colors to make it have more depth. The owner wanted the precast to complement the other Architectural finishes that were not precast. The building was also designed to withstand 250 mph winds. Size – 107′ x 68′. Built-in 2019, the project included 44 Insulated Wall Panels, 16 Double Tees, 2 Flat Slabs, and Structural precast with minor Architectural finishes. The General Contractor for the project was Nabholz Construction (Jonesboro Arkansas office).
Precast Benefits
Precast concrete offers a variety of benefits that make it ideal for projects such as the Ritter Communications Data Center. Precast concrete is extremely durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions, such as the 250 mph winds that threatened this project. Precast concrete is also a quick and cost-effective solution, as it can be produced off-site and transported to the job site when needed. This allows projects to remain on schedule with minimal disruption.
Precast concrete also offers a wide range of design options to meet the needs of any project. By incorporating precast concrete components, the Ritter Communications Data Center was able to achieve a unique and attractive design that blended in with the other architectural finishes. The use of precast concrete allowed the building to be designed to withstand even the harshest of weather, while still complementing the other features. Coreslab Structures rose to the challenge and successfully met the owner’s demands by providing high-quality precast components that could blend in with the other features.
