By utilizing Helix Steel’s design, over 290 tons of steel were eliminated from the new Dynarex Warehouse in Middletown, NY. The original slab was thinned by 1.5″ while the foundation walls were optimized with a 100% replacement of the double layer of rebar. While constructing, over 40 days were saved from the original construction schedule. The ability to optimize the project with Helix Steel was made possible by:
- IPD Engineering
- Advanced Building & Planning Inc
- BH Concrete
- Ringler Construction LLC
- E. Tetz & Sons
