Advantages of Precast/Prestressed Parking Structures

Innovative Solutions
Over the years we've built some interesting parking structures. Some examples include:

The design of many structures to accommodate horizontal or vertical expansion as well as "over build" structures for housing, retail or entertainment uses.

We've built two entirely pretopped precast helical drum ramps for a six level, 900 space parking garage that was only 60' wide!

We've incorporated planters with the structural system to provide unique aesthetics on several projects.

Several lateral bracing concepts have been embraced and forwarded by our engineering department including "H", "M" & "U" frames as well as the most popular lateral bracing element the "K" wall.

We were the first in New England to manufacture 12'-0" wide double tees on a large scale. Our entire production facility has been upgraded to accommodate the 12'-0" wide double tee system.
