CarbonCast makes Arch Record 2008 product list - concrete category

A jury of architectural professionals has selected CarbonCast Double Tees as one of the year's most remarkable building products in Architectural Record's Product Reports 2008. CarbonCast is only one of five products to be recognized in the "Concrete and Masonry" category.

CarbonCast Double Tees replace conventional welded wire mesh in the flange (deck) with carbon fiber grid, eliminating the potential for corrosion. The use of non-corrosive carbon fiber allows AltusGroup precasters to use less concrete cover above the reinforcement, which leads to reductions in weight, embedded energy and shipping costs, among other benefits.
