Stresscon Finishes Total Precast Cabela’s Office Building
A collaborative design-build team including S.A. Miro, Inc., Davis Partnership Architects, GE Johnson Construction Company, and Stresscon Corporation participated in creation of the 168,000 square foot facility. The precast components were erected over 33 days, bringing the entire project ahead of schedule by three weeks.
Stresscon provided 762 precast pieces, including architectural solid wall panels, columns, inverted tee beams, double tees, and other various architectural pieces. The pieces were spread through 465 loads and shipped 238 miles from Stresscon’s Colorado Springs plant. Production of all precast pieces occurred over a 72 day period. Stresscon was also responsible for erecting steel stairs for the stair shafts, including the grand stairway.
