From The Client
“We chose to use Nitterhouse 12” precast/prestressed concrete hollow core plank with maximum loading capacity for the second floor structure in the classroom wings of the new two-story Fayetteville Elementary School for the following reasons:
1. The new school was completed with an aggressive 12-month schedule, and staying on schedule meant using quality products that could be manufactured, delivered, and installed quickly. Being close to the project site, Nitterhouse was able to meet this aggressive schedule.
2. We also used the product because of its acoustical properties. Faculty and staff that have classrooms on the first floor of the new building have commented that the second floor in this school is significantly quieter than the second floor of another recently completed elementary school built with a traditional reinforced concrete pad on a metal deck.”
