Specializing in Wide Spans and Heavy Loadings with Precast
Precast, prestressed concrete framing systems efficiently provide the wide, clear spans and heavy loadings common to manufacturing facilities. And precast projects reach completion faster and more economically than steel or cast in place. Partnering with Tindall early in the conceptual phase gains you access to our precast design specialists, for the utmost in economy and performance.

Highlights:
Moss Point, MS
Highlights:
- Specialized precast concrete framing with metal roof accommodates code-prescribed hurricane loads and poor soil conditions
- Incorporated 389 structural framing pieces plus precast utility structures
- Translucent panels along the length of the production bay dramatically improves lighting
- Expansive (110 ft x 720 ft) production bay with innovative, 118-ft-long precast prestressed rafter girder
- Custom 48-ft-long crane beam supports two 35-ton overhead cranes
- Completed design-build of new 83,000-sq.-ft. precast facility in 11 months
- Design-build partnership specialists—for the most cost effective building layout
- Advanced framing technology optimizes span and load-bearing capacity
- Compatible with other materials to satisfy individual requirements
- Accommodates the loadings common to manufacturing settings more economically than steel
- Satisfies specialized reinforcement requirements, connections and unique performance demands
- Minimizes loadings to the foundation in poor soil conditions using a partially fixed condition at column bases and a fixed moment connection between column top and roof girder
- Hurricane and seismic building code strategies include cantilevered columns for double tee roof designs or beam and column frames that carry much of the lateral load in the frame connection
- 100-ft-plus clear spans offer plant layout efficiencies and facilitate equipment placement
- Accommodates process equipment, fulfilling multiple support and performance requirements for vibration, deflection and attachments
- Shortens project timelines by up to 30% compared to steel
- Precast utility tunnels under foundation slabs provide efficient distribution of utilities in production bays and facilitate future expansions
