Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a webinar on precast holocore floors and walls. Jim Schneider, Executive Director of PCI Mountain States, is the moderator. The webinar discusses the construction, benefits, and uses of precast holocore concrete products. It highlights the fire resistance and low sound transmission of holocore floors, as well as the various ways holocore can be used in HVAC systems. The webinar is sponsored by PCI Gulf, South, and Clark Pacific, in collaboration with other PCI regions in the United States. It offers one hour of HSW continuing education credit with AIA and RCEP. Aaron Pratt, a structural engineering manager with Clark Pacific in Southern California, is the presenter. He discusses the process of making holocore products, including cleaning and preparing the casting bed, panel layout, stretching the strands, and grouting. Pratt also explains the benefits of using holocore in different construction projects, such as residential buildings, hotel rooms, hospitals, schools, and more. He emphasizes the sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and durability of holocore. The webinar concludes with a discussion on PCI certification and the importance of involving precasters in the early stages of design. At the end of the webinar, attendees have the opportunity to ask questions.
