CASE STUDY Locher Evers International Expansion FLEXWALL PRECAST INSULATED WALL PANELS Armtec maximizes the versatility of the Flexwall precast insulated wall panel system by designing for the easy removal and relocation of panels to accommodate future expansion. Owner Locher Evers International Project Manager Giffels Design Build Inc. Location Brampton, Ontario 1-877-5-ARMTEC | ARMTEC.COM FLEXWALL PRECAST INSULATED WALL PANELS The warehouse of Locher Evers International, a large freight forwarding company, was designed and built in 2001 using durable, attractive Flexwall precast insulated wall panels. As the company grew, so too did its need for warehouse space. The existing Flexwall panels, which had been designed for easy removal and relocation, provided a fast and economical solution. With experienced Armtec crews on-site, the Flexwall panels were removed from the south elevation and stockpiled for re-use. Temporary hoarding was installed to keep out the elements while site and steel work were completed. Once the expanded roof was completed, the previously stockpiled panels were reinstalled along with new Flexwall panels that matched the original rib pattern and custom feature band. In total, 30 Flexwall panels (535m2) were installed within two days, providing speed and economy with minimal disruption. Temporary hoarding in place to keep out the elements during construction. Installation of relocated and new panels to complete the exterior of the expanded area. Armtec is a leading Canadian infrastructure and construction materials company combining creative engineered solutions, relevant advice, dedicated people, proven products and a national presence with a local focus on exceptional customer service. 1-877-5-ARMTEC | ARMTEC.COM Armtec / Case Study / Flexwall Precast Insulated Wall Panels | 2011–01
