The precast concrete installation at the Life Time Fitness project in Parsippany, NY required extensive, early planning to efficiently set the large structural elements on site. Supported by detailed Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) coordination, each precast piece was fabricated off-site to be fully prepared for installation. Once delivered to site, the 50,000- to 70,000-lb. panels were carefully sequenced for installation, allowing the structure to go up in just 25 working days—three times faster than traditional cast-in-place concrete. This precast approach reduced on-site risk and accelerated the project schedule while delivering long-term durability.
