Single Source Precast Provider
Nitterhouse specializes in all-precast or total-precast structures. Precast concrete is a versatile structural material that can be used as the primary system for a building’s roof, floor, and lateral loads. These capabilities allow designers to integrate structural and envelope (architectural) systems, which reduces total material usage, detailing, construction complexity, and costs. Total-precast structures are resilient, sustainable, low maintenance, thermally efficient, and durable. Other design, cost, and efficiency benefits include:
- The versatility of precast concrete allows for almost any shape element, such as curved and radial sections, with flexibility in connection points and load paths
- High-strength, prestressed concrete structural members also deliver exceptional load-carrying capacity, resulting in smaller sections, longer spans, or both when compared to other structural systems.
- Cost benefits include relocating up to 75% of the labor and related risk from the job site to a quality-controlled precast concrete plant environment.
- Reduced detailing and complexities such as spandrel panels can support floor systems and windows while providing final exterior finishes or sill panels that can be used as grade beams to retain soil, support windows, provide the architectural exterior finish, and help avoid complex cladding systems.
Nitterhouse all-precast projects include many building types, such as schools, residential housing/apartments, and parking structures.
