For this project, Wells Concrete placed 36 pieces for a total of 13,885 SF that included up to 13’ wide x 32’-8” tall panels, weighing approximately 47,500 pounds. The panels were a 6”-4”-3” wythe configuration with an R-value of 20.8 and the building size was 102’-6” x 110’. The panels were load bearing for 110’ roof joists and incorporated cast in electrical units.
