The Boulder County Parks Department is located next to a municipal airport making sound suppression the main consideration when ARXX ICFs were selected for this project.  Building with ARXX ICFs allowed the owners to exceed the STC code requirements for this project and they were thrilled when they were able to use their own crew which previously had no experience building with ARXX ICFs.
 

When building in Steamboat Springs Colorado, it’s important to consider the extreme temperatures in both the Summer and Winter months.  In the winter, Steamboat Springs will experience frigid -30 degree temperatures, and in the Summer temperatures can get well into the 90's.  With that in mind, the Architects on this project wanted to be sure to select a building system with a high insulation value.  This was particularly important since their goal was to design a LEED certified building.
 

This $30-million hospital was built to capture Nova Scotia's commitment to patient care and service.  The 78-bed facility was the first large-scale hospital in Atlantic Canada to use ARXX ICFs.  ARXX ICFs were used for the structural exterior walls on a cast-in-place concrete floor topped with a concrete roof.   Some of the reasons ARXX ICF was selected for this project include speed of construction, thermal performance and sound attenuation.
 

McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in Oklahoma has six ammunition production, maintenance and renovation complexes and is a major ammunition storage site for all branches of the Armed Forces. With nearly 2,300 storage magazines and six million square feet of covered explosive storage space, it is the DoD’s (Department of Defense) largest explosive storage facility.

The Chattooga River Ranger Office project came with a very tight construction schedule and speed of construction was a major factor when selecting ARXX ICFs for the wall systems.   A relatively simple design along with the ease of installation of ARXX ICFs allowed walls to go up in 3 days including the concrete placement.
