Journal Square

The Journal Square project will include 1800 residential units and will be one of New Jersey’s largest residential building. In order to eliminate the congestion caused by drop panels around the concrete columns Peikko’s Stud Rails were utilized. 
Industrial Urban, a well-established concrete contractor in New Jersey, chose Peikko because of their short lead time and complete engineering support. Having utilized Peikko’s Stud Rails on previous projects Mike Weseloh, Industrial Urban's Senior Estimator, was confident that the rails would be delivered on-time for this large scale project. 

“Peikko’s commitment to short lead times and great turnaround time helped us avoid construction delays. Placement drawings and engineered shop drawings were all provided quickly so the Stud Rails could be produced and delivered ahead of schedule.”

Jersey City University

The new residence hall, NJCU West Campus Village, will be the first facility to be built on the 22 acre redevelopment site known as NJCU West Campus. In this building, the shallow depth of Deltabeam allowed the design team at Niles Bolton Associates to achieve a higher ceiling with more open space.

To simplify the construction process, High Concrete Structures LLC utilized Peikko’s PCs Corbel to connect Deltabeam to their precast concrete columns. The hidden connection lead to a fast and clean installation without requiring welding or bolting on site. 

Edward J. Tramontana, President of Construction Consultant Services, immediately saw the benefits of utilizing Deltabeam in this project as explained below:

“The type of structures I have managed ranged from parking garages, high rises, academies, dorms and student centers to name a few. In most of these structures the architect tries to avoid interruption along the ceiling surface. With the current precast methods, the supports / ledges in which the floor members “rest on” are usually below the ceiling.
Below are a few items illustrating the unit’s benefits:
1. Aesthetics
2. Interference with above ceiling HVAC, electrical duct banks, etc.
3. The unit can be placed in one step with no required welding.
4. Lighter in weight than most precast/prestressed concrete units.
In summary, the Deltabeam unit was easy to manage and quick to set in place.”

Plaza at Waikiki

The Plaza at Waikiki assisted living project was the first to utilize Deltabeam in Hawaii.

The building is located along the Ala Wai Canal at the entrance of Waikiki at 1812 Kalakaua Ave will have 150 rooms and two levels of parking.

The building broke ground in April 2014, under the direction of Wattenbarger Architects and developer MW Group, Ltd.

Peikko's contract was with the local precaster GPRM who chose to use Deltabeam to gain additional headroom in the units.
