STEEL REINFORCED PRE-CAST CONCRETE BUILDINGS

Stand Alone... Attach to existing facility... Stack on top of each other!

The greatest threat from hurricanes & tornados is airborne objects. A wooden 2 x 4, traveling in excess of 100 mph can easily pass through a hollow wall - that includes masonry block where reinforcing bars are typically spaced vertically every 48". Our steel-reinforced poured concrete, however, is monolithic (solid) offering strength and density to better resist such debris.

TOUGH ENOUGH TO MEET FLORIDA HURRICANE CODE!

Demand for our unique patent-pending concrete buildings has risen dramatically:

• Resist hurricane-force winds of 150 m.p.h. (minimum)

• 5,000 PSI lightweight solid concrete walls better resists flying debris.

• Bullet resistant up to and including 30:06 caliber rifle fired at point blank range.   

• Non-combustible often lowering insurance costs.

• Resist all boring insects - eliminating the cost of treatments or extermination.

• Energy efficient & maintains temperature setting during brief thermal swings.

• Bolted & welded as opposed to nailed (nails can loosen under stress)

• Resists mold & mildew.

Unless greater strength is required, reinforcing bars are placed in a grid pattern spaced no further than 12-inches apart.

              EQUIPMENT SHELTERS                                    CONCRETE CLASSROOMS             

Most concrete buildings are considered "permanent" though some may be set onto a sand and gravel foundation. Such buildings often include; guard houses, hazardous materials storage buildings and equipment shelters.   

STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS: (minimums)

       Floor Loading:  200 PSF - 6.75-inch reinforced concrete w/ step joint design
