Surface

50.000 ft2

Intervention

Optimization study of hollowcore floors structure (27.000 ft2 studied)

Components

Grooved Hollowcore

Result of optimization: -0,63$ / ft2 ==> -9,1% cost reduction

This building was no actually built after our design. It was rather used as a case study to showcase to the precaster how much cost reduction (or margin increase) would be expected in case of using grooved hollowcore floor instead of conventional hollowcore floors.
