Solution: 3,000 cubic yards of specially designed ready-mix meets demands of new MORSCO facility in Apopka, Florida
Tilt-Wall Ready-Mix Concrete Accelerates Construction of Florida Warehouse
MORSCO is a supplier of HVAC products in the U.S. Sun Belt region. The company operates more than 170 branches throughout 16 states, offering heating and cooling products that keep temperatures in homes and businesses safe and comfortable.
When MORSCO built a new industrial office and warehouse in Apopka, Florida, they specified County Materials’ Tilt Wall Concrete to get the job done. Tilt wall ready-mix is named after the associated construction process. Wall panels are placed horizontally on grounded slabs and tilted upwards by crane. The crane then sets the panels on the prepared concrete foundations to form walls.
Tilt wall construction offers ease, speed, and safety of installation, making it an ideal solution for industrial applications like the MORSCO project. The method requires a specific formula to satisfy the demands for flexural strength and durability. County Materials’ Tilt Wall Concrete is specially designed to meet the highest quality standards and maximize this industry practice.
Project Highlights:
This warehouse project features 3,000 cubic yards of ready-mix concrete, covering more than 160,000 SF. Project leaders selected a 4,000-psi mix to meet the needs of the industrial application and ensure durability. Tilt wall construction reduces the need for formwork, accelerating the timeline for this project and allowing construction to stay on schedule.
