J.W. Peters Announces Midwest Introduction of first 15-Foot Wide Double Tees
J.W. Peters is
proud to introduce the first 15-foot-wide precast concrete double tees into the
Midwest. The 15 foot wide double
tee is an exciting product evolution that will add remarkable value to precast
concrete parking garages and other projects, according to J.W. Peters’
President, John Nanna. “We’ve led the
region in introducing increasingly wider double tees to the marketplace,”
Nanna explains. “We were the first to produce the 10-foot and 12-foot, and we
are now producing the first 15-foot units.” The
larger tee affords considerable advantages. Most significant is that projects
can be produced faster because fewer pieces are involved. Nanna anticipates a
reduction of about 30 percent in the time required from the awarding of a job
through delivery. Also, about a third less time is required in the field.
“Further economic benefits are realized because fewer pieces need transported
and erected,” Nanna adds. Similarly, there are fewer double tee joints to
caulk in the field and maintain over time. Also,
with fewer stems, a garage built with 15-foot tees permits more lightto
penetrate the building, which also increases the visibility of signage.
J.W. Peters has developed a leading edge system to transport the
oversized tees in a tilted position to meet state regulations.
Nanna anticipates wide acceptance of the 15-foot tee in the Midwest.
“We’re honored to be known as the precast concrete innovators in the
Midwest. Our introduction of the 15 foot wide double tee is in keeping with that
tradition.” J.W.
Peters is the leader in the construction of precast concrete parking garages
worldwide with over 400 completed. On the forefront of the design and production
