Hollowcore is a prestressed concrete product often specified for flooring and roofing applications for its ability to maximize functional space without sacrificing performance. Prestressed planks are manufactured to specification, easy to install, and advantageous to construction schedules and budgets.
Compatibility
Hollowcore is popular for a variety of applications due to its design versatility. The length and high-performance strength of the planks allows contractors to build large, column-free interior spaces that can be used for parking, storage, car wash bays, and other applications. Additionally, hollowcore’s compatibility with other building materials, like concrete masonry, steel framing, and cast-in-place wall systems, expands project possibilities.
The 167-unit Downers Grove Apartments in Illinois presented an aggressive construction deadline, a difficult site layout, and limited street access, but County Prestress & Precast’s Hollowcore plank overcame these challenges. Used alongside insulated sandwich walls, columns, beams, and slabs, our hollowcore accommodated the construction challenges and accelerated the demanding schedule.
Specified to Project
An advantage of using hollowcore is it arrives at the construction site ready for installation. County Prestress & Precast produces prestressed planks and solid slabs to meet individual project requirements, accommodating unique angles and curves to minimize on-site cutting and construction delays. County Prestress’ Hollowcore is manufactured with short lead times in our PCI-certified facilities.
