Precast Benefits

The Edwin Hotel, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, presented a distinctive challenge: the necessity for swift construction within a highly confined urban site. To address these constraints, the project team specified the use of hollow core plank as the primary structural system from the first floor to the roof. This strategic choice was driven by the system’s efficiency and its capacity to significantly accelerate the construction timeline.

Hollow core plank, known for its lightweight and robust characteristics, was delivered directly to the construction site and immediately installed, streamlining the overall process. Each floor comprised of hollow core planks was erected in under a week, showcasing the material’s ability to meet tight deadlines without compromising structural integrity. The confined site logistics were adeptly managed, requiring only an access route for delivery trucks, thereby minimizing disruption and space requirements.

Moreover, the utilization of hollow core plank proved highly advantageous in mitigating weather-related delays. Unlike traditional construction methods that can be significantly hampered by adverse weather conditions, the production and erection of these precast elements remained unaffected, ensuring consistent progress. This resilience to environmental factors made hollow core plank the ideal choice for the Edwin Hotel project.
