CON/STEEL receives Tilt-Up Achievement Awards
CON/STEEL Tilt-Up Systems, which specializes in the structural design of concrete tilt-up buildings, was recently honored with two Tilt-Up Achievement Awards. The honors, given yearly by the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA), acknowledge design and construction excellence on projects employing the site cast tilt-up construction method.
The Berkeley Building, located in Columbia, South Carolina, was honored in the office category, and the Kansas City lifestyle center Shops at Boardwalk project received an award in the retail category. Both buildings were designed by CON/STEEL and constructed by general contractors in the CON/STEEL Alliance, an international network of pre-qualified general contractors. The awards will be presented at TCA’s 2004 Annual Meeting, held in conjunction with the World of Concrete convention in Orlando, Florida, Feb. 16-20.
Background information on award winners:
The Berkeley Building: This project represents the first application of tilt-up construction for multi-story office buildings in Columbia, South Carolina. Tuscan-style columns leading into a grand two-story atrium create a dramatic and focused point of entry for the three-story, 77,000-square-foot Class “A” office building. Textured paint, which produces the look of quarried stone masonry, covers the entire building, and cornice bands were applied for additional exterior accents.
Shops at Boardwalk: This 136,000-square-foot open-air lifestyle center brought upscale retail to an underserved part of northern Kansas City. The project required 200,000 Scott System thin bricks and 70,000 laid-up bricks to achieve the attractive exterior. Although these bricks were applied differently, the end product was an identical match. Designed with a Southwestern motif, this center has unique towers, steel marquis and fabric awnings.
