Project Description
The University of Michigan constructed a new state-of-the-art sports complex called the ‘Athletic South Campus Competition and Performance Complex’ in order to house a 300 meter indoor track and lacrosse facility. Project costs were a major concern among project owners and specifiers when considering a reinforcement method for their slab-on-metal-decking and interior slab on grade projects. University of Michigan was made aware of FORTA-FERRO® and its ability to save the owner time and money on a project, especially when compared to wire mesh. By using FORTA-FERRO®, the contractor was additionally pleased with the improvement in safety at the construction site by eliminating wire mesh, which may cause tripping and injury. By eliminating wire mesh, the construction time was also reduced leading to increased labor cost savings.
Key Points:
- Superior Finish
- Improved Safety
- Reduced Costs
