Ashley Capital selected Helix Steel as the primary concrete reinforcement technology for its new Findlay Commerce Center (FCC), located in Findlay Township, PA. The FCC is a 316,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art, distribution/light industrial facility that can accommodate up to four tenants of varying sizes.
Although originally designed with welded wire mesh and fiber mesh reinforcement, Helix Steel provided a design that 3 dimensionally reinforced the slab of the facility with Twisted Steel Micro Reinforcement (TSMR), removed all welded wire mesh and fiber mesh and promises to deliver an increase in shear strength, ductility, modulus of rupture and toughness, reduced carbon footprint and shortened the total project timeline.
“Helix Steel’s code approved technology removed all labor associated with chairing, laying and tying welded wire mesh and enabled our contractor to pour in a more efficient manner, which in turn shaved time off of our delivery schedule,” said Kevin Hegg, Vice President with Ashley Capital. “As a developer, we are always looking for ways to shorten the construction schedule and to provide a better potential value to our tenants. Helix Steel TSMR is designed to help offer those benefits.”
“The goal with each of our customer’s projects, is to provide a more structurally sound, longer lasting concrete application and to deliver quantifiable value in terms of time savings and sustainability. This resonates within the Owner/Builder community in terms of project financing, delivery dates, realized rental or lease revenue and green initiatives,” said Helix Steel VP of Sales, David Stephens.
