The Prestressed Group
supplied approximately 6,500 sq. ft. of
hollowcore and
4,600 sq. ft. of 10” insulated wall panels for
St. Angela Merici Church. The
project required a very quick turnaround time
from start to finish as this was an
addition to the existing church during its
busiest time of the year.
Precast concrete is manufactured off site and
delivered
at the precise moment it is needed, thus
assisting in
keeping disruptions at the jobsite to a minimum.
The project was completely installed in two
days. A special challenge was created by
the proximity of the neighbouring building.
"The use of precast load bearing walls and
hollowcore
slabs allowed for a quick and easy installation
procedure providing for minimal disruption to
the adjacent commercial buildings.” -
