ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Palm Beach Warehouse Park is a three-building industrial complex totaling 200,000 square feet, with individual buildings ranging from 55,000 to 80,000 square feet. The project required phased construction across all three structures simultaneously — a logistics challenge that meant managing three separate panel casting beds, three erection sequences, and three flatwork schedules running in parallel. At peak activity, we had crews working across all three buildings with a single crane rotating between sites on a weekly schedule. Each building called for tilt-up wall panels ranging from 30 to 40 feet in height, with the largest panels in Building C exceeding 45,000 pounds. We cast 126 panels total across the three structures, using the floor slabs as casting beds wherever possible to maximize efficiency. Panel reinforcement varied by building — the two larger warehouses required heavier gauge embeds and thicker panels to accommodate future racking loads anchored directly to the walls. The flatwork scope was substantial: 200,000 square feet of six-inch slab-on-grade reinforced with welded wire fabric and fiber mesh, specified to support storage loads up to 3,000 PSF in designated heavy racking zones. We placed the slabs in alternating strip pours to control shrinkage cracking across the large floor plates. The full concrete scope across all three buildings totaled roughly 5,500 cubic yards, completed over a 20-week production window with staggered building turnover dates that allowed the owner to begin tenant improvements in Building A while we completed erection on Building C.
