Case Study: JFK Logistics Center

Situated near John F. Kennedy Airport on Long Island and adjacent to major highways with access to New York, New Jersey, and several shipping ports, the JFK Logistics Center is a three-story e-commerce warehouse that facilitates last-mile delivery in the New York City region. High-quality, year-round construction and a durable, resilient, and efficient building envelope solution were top priorities for this project situated in a constricted urban area that’s also subject to rare but extreme weather events.

Precast concrete insulated wall panels delivered a robust and versatile solution that met an aggressive project schedule in a tight urban area.

Better preconstruction coordination between the design team, precast fabricator, and the erector delivered project efficiencies, job site safety, and project savings.

In this case study, discover how the team collaborated to deliver the JFK Logistics Center in a demanding location.

Advantages when building with precast insulated wall panels include:

Due to the thermal mass benefits of precast concrete walls, concrete absorbs and retains heat and cold, resulting in heating and cooling system and equipment energy savings.
As a separation wall, precast floor and roof systems are durable and resilient, helping prevent fire from spreading from floor to floor or jumping from building to building.
Precast insulated wall panels can function as structural (load-bearing) or architectural (non-load bearing) for building envelope efficiency and versatility.
Resistance to wind damage, fire, floods, earthquakes, and pests provides lower maintenance and insurance costs.
