Situation Analysis

• Owner Needs/Requirements
• Structure designed for limestone, high costs
  mandated substitute
• Project could not be delayed for redesign
• Steel frame design with weight limit of 50
  lbs./sq. ft.
• Why precast was preferable
• Could give the look of limestone at a lower cost
• Long term durability
• However, conventional precast was too heavy for
  the design
• What special needs CarbonCast products fulfilled
• Lighter weight worked within constraints of
  existing structural design
• Non-corrosive maintain longer-term aesthetics

Sales Process

• How we became aware of the project
• Relationship with the architect (Arcturis) they
  called when they found out they had a problem
• The early meetings
• A CarbonCast design solution was proposed for
  weight and aesthetics
• Architect was encouraging, so I involved
  engineering
• Limestone was preferred, but problems with the
  design were indicated by architect
• How decisions were made
• Engineering attended sales meetings with
  architect to see if CarbonCast could meet design
  criteria
• Proved we could do 50 lbs./sq. ft.
• Engineering analysis of building elevations and
  sections for sizing and connections
• Architects indicated CarbonCast was their
  preference to address weight issue

12
Sales Process Continued

• How decisions were influenced
• Relationship with the architect
• Challenges encountered
• Needed to limit some eyebrow and parapet panels
  to 4 thickness (conventional precast)
• How challenges were dealt with
• Engineering checked to determine if we could meet
  weight criteria
• Supplied typical panel design diagram showing 8
  panel with ribbing
• Used conventional precast for panels with returns
  or not flat

13
Technical Challenges

• Challenges
• Design required 50 psf or less panels
• Look of dimensional limestone
• Solutions
• Engineering supported technical sales proposal of
  lightweight CarbonCast

14
Lessons Learned

• What could have been done to make the process
  more effective
• Design the project for CarbonCast from the
  beginning
• Obtain CM buy-in
• How the process could be improved
• Introduce CarbonCast as part of the initial
  design
• Involve CM in early design meetings so they can
  understand the solution
