Pulp & Paper Mills
Ensuring Long-Lasting Performance with Precast
Precast, prestressed concrete construction aids machinery performance and longevity by eliminating deflection and dampening vibration, while providing the flexibility to add and change out equipment as needed. Tindall Corporation offers pulp & paper mills a significantly larger footprint, providing a considerable increase in mechanical equipment and piping location possibilities.

- Engineered for high universal load capacities
- Unique, precast haunch slab floor systems allow greater flexibility for openings and penetrations both initially and in the future
- Redundant design offers flexibility for future expansions, often without structural enhancement or modification
- Corrosion and fire resistant; withstand rapid temperature changes
- Accommodates lateral movement and resists translational movement of track frame with engineered support details
- Combine exterior cladding and shear walls to achieve adequate lateral resistance with only 20 to 30% of the surface area of the shear wall panels
- Alternative framing schemes treat columns as cantilevers to the second floor
- Free up valuable headroom with W-beam’s long continuous spans
- Framing system provides necessary rigidity to keep lateral and vertical loads from affecting machine performance
- Two independent frame systems ensure minimal interference with machinery
- Moment frame construction offers maximum clear spans, reducing obstructions for mechanical systems and number of footings
- High-density wall panels prevent moisture condensation and mold growth
- Flush, flange-free framing minimizes the accumulation of dust and debris
