Precision Concrete chooses MEVA HN slab formwork
Founded in 1826, Furman University is recognized as the oldest private college located in the state of South Carolina. Furman University was named after Richard Furman, who was the first president of the South Carolina Baptist Convention, which first convened in 1814.
Even though Furman is the oldest private university in the state, it is rapidly transitioning into the future by reimagining and building a new first-year residence hall from the ground up. The facility will replace Blackwell Hall, which has served as a first-year student residence hall since 1967.
The new residence hall will be a cast-in-place, four-story concrete structure with a footprint of approximately 14,000 sq.ft. per floor. The flat plate design and consistent floor-to-floor heights presented a perfect opportunity to use the MEVA HN drophead system for supporting the elevated slabs. Because of the geometric design, some areas of the slab required MEP conventional shoring with an aluminum beam and stringer, which was used to support the trapezoidal areas.
Harper Corporation, the general contractor for the project, selected Precision Concrete to build the concrete structure. Founded in 1986 by Leonard J. Moniz. Jr, Precision Concrete has established a reputation as a high-quality place and finish concrete contractor and has achieved a listing as one of the Top 600 Specialty Contractors by ENR, as well as being ranked in the Top 100 by Concrete Construction magazine.
When asked why they selected MEVA and used the HN drophead shoring system, Greg Spone, General Superintendent for Precision cited the convenience of the MEVA Spartanburg, South Carolina location. Formwork Superintendent Abraham Ramirez pointed out that the system was easy to erect and thanks to the 7.5” drophead could be quickly stripped and moved to the next pour.
We would like to thank Precision Concrete once again for choosing to partner with MEVA on another concrete project.
