W.A.M. Capital, of Wichita, Kansas, completed a facility that is built to last. With concrete walls, paving and 102,000 sq. ft. of flooring, the first class warehouse, distribution, and/or industrial space will provide future tenants maximum interior flexibility and durability. Helix® reinforcement was chosen for the 8ʺ slab on grade to provide increased load and rack capacity, along with a higher resistance to spalling at joints. At just 9lb/yd³ of Helix® reinforcement, the 8ʺ slab carries 2× more capacity compared to a 6″ slab reinforced with mesh.
