SiteCast Construction: 1000-Year-Old Construction Solution Addresses Overcrowded Schools
Concrete tilt-up panels are fast, safe and energy efficient
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, CANADA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/16/11 -- Mention overcrowded schools these days and you're bound to hit an emotional button - in new communities and older ones. Whether you're building a new school, adding a or moving in , you can't seem to please everyone. But, when it comes to the actual construction of the building, a technique that has been around since the early 1900s is gaining popularity across Ontario and Canada. It's called and its list of benefits reads like it was discovered just for schools:
"Concrete tilt-up is a construction technique whose name says what it is -- concrete panels are cast on-slab, then tilted to install," says Shawn Hickey, president of , Canada's leading concrete tilt-up specialist. "When school or classroom structures are built with tilt-up concrete panels, students and staff study and work in a healthy, sound, safe, comfortable environment, suitable for a productive work day."
In 1999, SiteCast built its first school in Cumberland Ontario using insulated concrete tilt-up panels. The school was built three times faster than its sister school that was built using conventional brick/masonry construction. Within a few years, the school had saved 38% on its energy costs. Since then SiteCast has worked with general contractors and construction managers throughout Ontario to build schools additions.
