Architectural Precast
The following make architectural precast a natural choice for schools, hospitals, office buildings and other structures:
• Energy efficiency
• Diversity in design expression
• Acoustics
• Repetitive Precasting
• Durability
• Consistent high levels of quality control
• Low maintenance
• Variety of finishes on load bearing and non-load bearing components
​
At Dura-Stress, we can form units to achieve any desired feature. Design input from the professionals at Dura-Stress early in the design of a project will enhance the project through accelerated construction and significant cost savings. The coordinated team effort ensures that optimum utility and quality are achieved.
The architectural precast produced by Dura-Stress includes spandrels, wall panels, filler pieces, columns, column covers, stairs, and cornices of all shapes, sizes and finishes. Typical architectural finishes include colored concrete, fractured fin, thin brick, water washed and sand blasted.
Correctional Structures
Extensive building programs by the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC) to terminate early release of inmates began with an evaluation of building solutions. This evaluation included cost, quality, security, durability, and schedule (based on multiple-site construction schedules).
Based on their findings, the FDOC decided on precast modular technology. Dura-Stress’s answer was to provide turnkey solutions, not just for cells but for other components such as roofs, walls, stairs, plumbing and mechanical storage, maintenance access, etc. Precast modular cells are outfitted to any degree of finish required, including bunks, toilets, sinks, insulation, mechanical and electrical components. Walls are steel reinforced and can be built to accommodate any level of security. Precast cells provide a variety of advantages for correctional facility construction.
Dura-Stress has the capability of manufacturing prison modules of various sizes for federal, state and county correctional projects.
Hollowcore
Primarily used as floor or roof deck systems, hollow core slabs also have applications as pedestrian bridge deck units.
Hollow core is the product of choice in buildings requiring sound barriers between floors. Additionally, it provides excellent fire resistance making it a natural choice for hotels, schools and upscale condominium complexes. Use of hollow core products enhances the speed of construction. We can deliver and install up to 5,000 square feet of product per day, depending on the complexity of the project.
Continuous voids in the hollow core slabs provide reduced weight, therefore reducing cost. The voids can also be utilized for concealed electrical or mechanical utility corridors.
Our hollow core department produces high quality hollow core planks in stressing beds that can be steam cured for rapid turnover.
