WhiteCore SCI Panel Technology Thin skinned concrete tilt panels were the second step in development.
WhiteCore SCI Panel Technology 800 foot x 200 foot x 24 to 38 foot tall Liteform/Helix Tilt Hog Barn R24 Walls. 100 foot spanning roof trusses. Panels weigh about 22 K pounds. Set the whole building with a 35 ton all terrain crane. Crane cost is normally 50% of the construction installation cost for a tilt project.
WhiteCore SCI Panel Technology Technology development has evolved into construction of large tilt up buildings. Rebar bundles in the vertical beam column without shear ties and 20 lbs/cy of Helix in the panel, both sides.
WhiteCore SCI Panel Technology Horizontal End Picks and Carrying them in a horizontal position around the job site Not the normal way to move tilt panels Only with WhiteCore SCI Panel Technology. 50 foot panels for an outdoor theater movie screen public park. Panels were stack cast and lifted horizontally with four end pick points and two in the center half way down. Unsupported cantilevered section NO CRACKS
Sunnybrook Church Parking Lot Sioux City NE Client had such good experience with the 1st - 110,000 feet of parking lot replacement that they are now replacing other areas that have failed. Now using Helix in concrete for all of their paving projects. 9 lbs per yard is their dosage rate on the entire project and patches. No frost heave issues over poor base materials
