We are using Superior Walls for the walkout-basement. Since much of the walls will be visible above grade, we chose a large stamped-brick pattern for the exterior of these cast-concrete panels.
The Superior Walls crew installed the panels quickly. After compacting the gravel base, they used a large crane to place each panel in its designated position. Here's the first panel being lowered.
17 minutes later, the fourth panel was coming down.
29 minutes after that, half the panels were in place.
Two hours after starting, the final (18th) panel under the Deltec shell was being set. Remaining were the six panels for the stairwell and yard equipment room bump-out.
One edge of the bump-out's large end panel was slightly deformed, and required grinding to shape.
The grinding took some time, but an hour later the end panel was in place and the final side panel was being lowered.
All 24 panels were set in only 5½ hours.
The concrete crew poured and finished the basement slab.
