County Prestress & Precast’s Hollowcore offers many advantages for residential and mixed use construction. While commonly used for the podiums of commercial buildings and multi-family complexes, the unlimited design flexibility of hollowcore roof and floor systems makes them suitable for a wide variety of multi-family residential applications.
County Prestress & Precast manufactures high-quality prestressed concrete planks, solid slabs, and columns and beams, which can be combined with other building materials to build structures such as underground parking garages, storage facilities, emergency shelters, and indoor swimming pools.
Hollowcore offers functional, economic, and construction benefits for multi-family complexes.
Functional Benefits
Hollowcore supports heavy loads across long spans. Using a hollowcore floor or roof system can help maximize usable space by limiting the need for support columns. With fire ratings up to three hours and natural acoustical dampening, hollowcore enhances occupant safety and comfort.
Economic Benefits
Concrete floor and roof systems help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures by absorbing heat and releasing it slowly. Residential structures built with hollowcore can be heated and cooled with less energy, reducing operating costs. Low life cycle cost and ease of installation make it a cost-effective building material.
Construction Benefits
Hollowcore is manufactured to specification and arrives on site ready to install. Once installed, hollowcore serves as an instant work deck, providing earlier site access to other trades and maintaining the construction schedule.
