Horizon Business Park

Lafarge Precast is pleased to announce the completion of the precast insulated wall panel installation on Building “F,” wrapping up Hopewell’s Horizon Business Park. This impressive warehouse is approximately 300,000 square feet and features insulated wall panels nearly 40 feet high. This project showcases the efficiency and benefits of using precast concrete in construction. The insulated wall panels not only accelerate the building process but also enhance energy efficiency and durability, making them an excellent choice for commercial projects.

Key Aspects of the Installation:

  1. Precast Components: The installation involved insulated wall panels and structural elements that provided a complete building envelope.
  2. Speed of Construction: The precast panels were manufactured off-site, allowing for simultaneous site preparation. This significantly reduced the time required for on-site assembly.
  3. Quality Assurance: Each precast element was fabricated in our controlled environment, ensuring consistency and compliance with stringent quality standards.
  4. Thermal Performance: The insulated wall panels featured two layers of reinforced concrete, with a continuous layer of insulation in between. This design enhances energy efficiency while providing durability against damage.
  5. Project Impact: The accelerated construction timeline allowed Sobeys to quickly move towards operational readiness, demonstrating the effectiveness of precast solutions in commercial projects.

This project showcases how Lafarge Precast can streamline the building process while maintaining high standards of quality and performance.
