P12G Welded Wire Girder for Precast Insulated Wall Panels

The growth of energy-efficient construction has guided the precast concrete industry to design and produce cost-effective and timesaving wall panel techniques.

Federal and state energy regulations have driven the popularity of “sandwich panel” walls which feature a layer of insulation “sandwiched” between layers of concrete.

Dayton Superior offers the P12G Welded Wire Girder as one method to meet the need for a unique shear connector adequate to properly transfer or distribute loads between panels.

Dayton Superior girder prevents undesirable energy transfer by eliminating solid concrete sections in the entire panel — no high stress points, no major thermal areas, no cold spots, no wet areas — and a more efficient and cost effective insulated wall panel. Most importantly, Welded Wire Girder not only connects the concrete wythes through the insulation material, but has the resiliency to expand and contract with the independent thermal-induced movements of the outer wythe.

The P12G Welded Wire Girder is also available to be made to order. Please call for lead timing, pricing, and availability.
