59,500 square foot distribution center

The Graybar Electric Distribution site was thoughtfully planned for a 27,000 square foot future expansion to the facility.

Description

This project is a 59,500 square feet office and distribution center for a Fortune 500 distributor of high-quality components, equipment, and materials for the electrical and telecommunications industries.

The building was constructed using tilt-up concrete wall panels, which were cast on site, avoiding unnecessary transportation costs and fuel for delivery. Tilt-up concrete is a two-step process. First, slabs of concrete, which most often comprise load-bearing sections of a building envelope or elevation, were cast horizontally on a concrete slab-on-ground. After the concrete wall panels reached sufficient cure strength, they were then lifted (tilted) with a crane to form the facility walls.
