COMMERICAL MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING
AMSYSCO has provided PT on housing for tens of thousands of people.
340 E. RANDOLPH
Location: Chicago, IL
Contractor: McHugh Construction
PT Quantity: 1.2 million feet
Facts: The 64-story, 975,000-square-foot luxury condominium tower is one of the tallest residential PT projects in the U.S. Each floor had a three-day cycle and curtainwall/MEP embeds that had to be coordinated with the PT system.

UNIVERSITY CENTER
Location: Chicago, IL
Contractor: Adjustable Forms
PT Quantity: 900,000 feet
Facts: The 20-story student housing structure used a 9.5” PT slab in order to eliminate the need for drop heads. In order to accelerate the concrete schedule, expansion joints were eliminated in favor of one pour strip. This shaved two months off the original schedule.

VILLAGE GREEN
Location: Arlington Heights, IL
Contractor: Corrigan Construction
PT Quantity: 375,000 feet
Facts: The low-rise building had a large footprint that was originally designed in conventional rebar. AMSYSCO proposed an alternate flat-plate PT slab system. In addition to a reduction in the slab thickness by 3.5”, the PT system deleted many beams. This resulted in a considerable savings to the owner and more open layout for the architect.

GARLANDS OF BARRINGTON
Location: Barrington, IL
Contractor: Pepper Construction
PT Quantity: 2.0 million feet
Facts: This senior living project consisted of four PT low-rise buildings. Each building had a large footprint and a column layout that was not aligned. This caused the tendons to have extensive curves in the plan. Extra length was added to the tendons to achive simplicity in the field.
1620 S. MICHIGAN
Location: Chicago, IL
Contractor: Adjustable Forms
PT Quantity: 600,000 feet
Facts: The 14-story, 350,000-square-foot structure features 10-foot ceiling heights. AMSYSCO provided value-engineering ideas that converted the project to a PT system and saved $2.00 per square-foot.

600 N. FAIRBANKS
Location: Chicago, IL
Contractor: Adjustable Forms
PT Quantity: 750,000 feet
Facts: The 41-story, ultra-luxury condominium tower has 12 parking levels and a lap pool. The 60-foot curved façade required detailed coordination drawings since there was no access for stressing on two sides of the building. The use of thin PT slabs resulted in roughly $2.0 million savings in the vertical window-wall system.
