New York School Expansion to use Oldcastle's New
NT32 Module to fast-track project.
Telford, Pa, March 13, 2002- Oldcastle Precast Modular Group was
awarded the precast and erection contract for the new 7 classroom
expansion at Spring Union School in East Hampton, New York . The
full precast construction of the new $1,700,000 - 8,820 square foot
expansion- is the first of its kind. This is the first time a classroom
expansion has been designed utilizing the new NT32 building component
engineered and designed by Oldcastle Precast.
Spring Union School officials had a need for a fast reaction construction
method that would result in a facility that has structural integrity.
Oldcastles' NT32 building component provided that solution. The
School Blocks NT32 system is designed as a fast-track construction
system which integrates a series of pre-manufactured precast concrete
building components with the purpose of creating secure, high quality,
durable classrooms and open spaces.
Oldcastle will be designing, engineering and producing the twenty-eight
(28) NT32 school blocks components, with a bricked exterior finish,
that will create the seven (7), 864 square foot classrooms. Precast
wall panels, roof slabs and two (2) fully outfitted bathroom modules
will complete this precast classroom expansion.
The Construction Manager for this project is Christa Construction,
Inc. of NY and the Architect of Record is Perkins Eastman Architects
PC of NY.
Oldcastle's sister company, Rotondo Precast of Telford, PA, will be
manufacturing the majority of the precast.
