SUCCESS STORY

Making the Right Connections on Campus

Recognized with an Ontario Concrete Award, Humber College Building B is an architectural narrative whose story encompasses the use of tilt-up and precast construction resulting in a unique facility for higher learning. The threestory, 83,694 sq. ft. Building B is home to the student testing center, new classrooms and administration offices for the college’s president and vice-presidents.
Design of the building would mean constructing wall panels averaging just over 42 feet tall and 35 feet wide. Each panel consisted of three layers, 12" structural concrete, 4" Rigid Insulation and 3" exterior concrete with an average weight of 150,000 pounds.
The project made use of Dayton Superior’s P24 Delta Tie to connect the insulated panel layers together. With over 16 years of proven performance and millions of square feet of sandwich walls constructed, the Delta Tie system was used to save both time and labor in an already aggressive project schedule. Very little training was required for the workers to install the ties in a fast, easy and money-saving way. In addition, the Delta Tie design was the perfect product to provide minimal thermal bridging while offering the owner proven strength, durability and reduced building operating costs.
  • Dayton Superior was able to provide a versatile panel connection solution to work with the contractor’s choice of rigid foam insulation.
  • The contractor recognized a labor savings as the Delta Tie requires no drilling or pre-installation and can be installed in seconds.
  • The Delta Tie offered increased safety due to use of an engineered composite matrix and increased insulating efficiency.
