During Erection the inner tube is extracted once the double tee is in the final position into an oversized pocket by using a dependable system of pull-out and pull-in wires. A detent pin is installed through the inner tube to prevent retraction.

ASCENT, SPRING 2017 3 ASCENT® DESIGNING WITH PRECAST The 54th Annual PCI Design Awards— A Showcase of Design Excellence This issue highlights winners from the 2016 PCI Design Awards and features a wide range of building types that were judged worthy of special recognition for the use of precast concrete in their structural and façade design. The multitude of benefits that precast concrete provides to the successful design of these winning projects is illustrated in the following pages. Attributes such as durability, site efficiency, speed of construction, resiliency, aesthetic versatility, and many other inherent characteristics of precast concrete are demonstrated in each project. Precast concrete was the obvious choice for the design team for the first free-standing, Net Zero Energy police station in the nation, the District 3 Police Headquarters, which was the winner of this year’s Sustainable Design award. Designers along with developers and owners are recognizing the value of resiliency and fire-resistance attributes when turning to all-precast concrete as the solution of choice for multi-family housing and senior living facilities, as evidenced by the winners of the All-Precast Concrete Solution awards, both located in dense urban areas of downtown Chicago, Ill. And, the winner of the Harry DAWN PARKER, MBA EXECUTIVE EDITOR H. Edwards Industry Advancement award, 1200 Intrepid, inspires the precast concrete [email protected] industry to continue advancing the possibilities of what precast can do! All of these winners along with videos for each winner and more information can be viewed on the PCI website at www.pci.org. I know the projects within this issue will inspire each of you to envision what you can design with your next project using precast concrete, and we hope to see your outstanding designs entered into the 55th Annual PCI Design Awards!

It has been a sincere joy to work with a group of precasters who are as engaged as they have been, willing to roll up their sleeves to work on solutions rather than seeing obstacles, and I am sure that they are proud of their efforts as much as we are.” Kai-Uwe Bergmann, AIA, RIBA, partner, BIG—Bjarke Ingels Group THE NEW SHAPE OF PRECAST Photograpy © Rasmus Hjortshøj—COAST 1200 Intrepid at the Philadelphia Navy Yard is the newly loads flowed directly to the ground and were not tied to the completed precast concrete work of art designed by world- steel frame.
