| 摘要： | The Icon in Richmond, Va., is a 163,000 ft~2 (49,700 m2), 12-story apartment complex with 189 units. When SWA Construction, a developer in Richmond, acquired the property, the mission was simple: find the right building solution for the project. Having just completed several precast concrete parking decks with Tindall Building Systems of Petersburg, Va., SWA opted to work with Tindall to design, manufacture, and erect this multifamily residence. The owner/developer was also the architect on the project, so it was all in-house. "We had built two parking garages with the company, and they loved the look and quality of the concrete and were blown away with the speed of construction," says Chris Andrews, sales manager for Tindall's Virginia Division. The project gave Tindall an opportunity to use its new Tindall Lightweight Ail-Purpose Beam (T-SLAB) for the first time. "Coincidentally, we were in the midst of bringing T-SLAB to the public, and they asked if we could build their 12-story apartment out of precast. Of course we said, 'Absolutely!'" Prior to that, SWA had been looking at more conventional systems, such as cast-in-place concrete and steel. "T-SLAB essentially allows us to provide a cost-effective shallow slab member with relatively longer spans than other similar slabs," Andrews says. "It also allows for unique geometries, cast-in items, and great fire and acoustical ratings." |
