When constructing a multifamily or mixed-use building, architects and engineers are challenged with finding a solution that allows for quick erection, increased safety, and enhanced design versatility. County Prestress’ Hollowcore is a high-performance solution that is manufactured to meet project specifications and shorten construction schedules.
Structural Integrity
Hollowcore plank is a resilient building material that supports high load capacities across long spans, eliminating the need for extra load-bearing columns. This design allows for unobstructed ceilings that maximize usable space.
Increased Safety
When building multifamily complexes, safety becomes an increasing concern. County Prestress’ Hollowcore is inherently durable and trusted to keep individuals safe. Prestressed concrete is resistant to corrosion and rot and maintains its structural integrity though extreme conditions. Hollowcore meets fire ratings up to three hours and does not burn, preventing lethal fumes and smoke.
Unmatched Design Versatility
Hollowcore is cut to specified lengths and arrives on site ready to install, saving time and cost during construction. County Prestress manufactures hollowcore planks in depths of 8”, 10”, 12”, and 16”. Our planks allow for spans up to 44’ at 50 psf and can be used to create large, unobstructed spaces that are required of parking structures, high-rise offices, multifamily housing, hotels and other applications. Hollowcore is designed to work with diverse building materials, including concrete masonry, steel framing and cast-in-place wall systems.
