'Force Protection" Regulations Easily Met

One reason
the Air Naval Reserve Base in New Orleans selected
Insul-Deck was its integral wall and roof strength
that met “force protection” standard requirements
for ammunition dumps. Insul-Deck is also quick and
easy to place on site, because it comes pre-engineered,
pre-cut and pre-labeled. It is the fast, lightweight,
forming-system solution for concrete wall and roof
construction. The ammunition dump is a storage area
with weapons in bunkers separated by great distances
to prevent a chain reaction from occurring due to
an explosion or fire. |
 |
Insul-Deck is not only the fast, flexible and
safe method for building concrete floors, walls
or roofs, it also saves labor, time and money.
In just one minute per square foot, experienced
crews install panels and rebar support and pour
concrete.
Part of Insul-Deck’s patented process includes
self-supporting steel beams and furring strips.
Using drywall screws, any type of interior finish
can be attached to the integral steel furring
strips.
Utilities are easier to install in pre-molded
access chases or channels, which are also part
of Insul-Deck’s patented process. The Expanded
Polystyrene can be removed easily, if needed,
to create larger utility runs, and the Expanded
Polystyrene also has excellent insulating properties. |
 |
Insul-Deck offers a variety of insulation and
roof or floor thicknesses. Form depths up to 12-1/2”
produce deeper supporting ribs which allow spans
up to 30 feet with non-post-tension methods. Post-tension
floors and roofs with Insul-Deck’s standard
forms allow spans up to 40 feet with less depth. |
 |
Insul-Deck is faster form-to-finish per square
foot than any other form process. With Insul-Deck
you only have three steps: place, pour and finish.
With pre-cast and pan and deck, you need a crane
and/or have to remove the forms. Count on Insul-Deck:
you pour it, you finish it - you can take it to
the bank. |
