PRE-CAST INSULATED CONCRETE

ICP are prefabricated concrete slab panels that can be insulated continuously and used for the exterior and some interior portions of building construction. Uninsulated concrete panels are usually also used in the construction process for areas like garages where insulation is not necessary. ICPs are very versatile and have been used in various ways including facade cladding, separating walls, and structural components; for decades in industrial, commercial, and residential construction.

Precast/prestressed concrete sandwich wall panels are composed of two concrete layers separated by a layer of rigid foam insulation. In place, sandwich wall panels can provide the dual function of transferring load and insulating the structure.

ICPs are ideal for warehouses, manufacturing plants, schools, retail, office buildings, recreational facilities, hotels/motels, retirement residences, multifamily apartment buildings, and virtually any other architectural application that calls for strength, durability, and fast construction.

ICPs provide all the desirable characteristics of a normal precast concrete wall panel but with added insulation it also produces:

• superior energy performance and moisture protection compared with other wall systems
• economical solutions
• fire and sound resistance
• large vertical spaces between supports
• additional usage as shear walls, bearing walls, and retaining walls
• durable buildings with more longevity
• finished products that require no further treatment if desired
• a hard surface inside and out which provides resistance to sulfates, damage, and theft

As an investor-purchaser of an ICP SCDC multifamily apartment building, you will be happy long term to know that your investment is one of the highest quality building projects available in the market today.
