By partnering with a number of firms to properly implement the Infinity Slab (50′ series), Helix was able to reduce the construction schedule while improving the overall durability and performance of Graco’s new 500,000 sq. ft. facility in Dayton, MN. In this heavy industrial setting, construction requirements such as a double slip sheet, Specification Products’ e5 Internal Cure (https://www.specificationproducts.com/rcsproducts/rcs-internalcure/), doweled control joints, and a low shrinkage mix were utilized.

Helix Steel partnered with the following firms:

  • HGA Architects & Engineers
  • McGough Construction
  • Apple Valley Ready Mix
  • Specification Products
