Newforma Project Center is the earliest “project information management” solution for architects and engineers. In fact, Newforma was the first vendor to coin that term to describe what exactly its solution does — which is to manage the large volumes of information associated with the design and/or construction of a project. In addition to the actual design documents such as …
By: Laura Martin | Posted: October 20th, 2022 | Last Updated: October 20th, 2022 Categories: Blog, Precast Precast concrete architectural panels come in various sizes, shapes, colors and thicknesses and often have a decorative role along with the normal structural functions. Architectural panels provide designers with enhanced flexibility and creativity by offering more sizes and shape profiles along with many color and texture …
By: Laura Martin | Posted: October 20th, 2022 | Last Updated: October 20th, 2022 Categories: Blog, Precast A primary benefit of precast concrete is that it saves significant time on a project because it arrives on-site already cast, cured and ready to install. Production of precast concrete involves pouring the concrete into a pre-made mold with pre-stress strands or rebar or both as the primary reinforcement and …
Wells has recently formalized a training program we refer to as the Engineer Development Program (EDP). Our goal is to take young engineers fresh out of college and give them broad exposure to the entire business: making them well-rounded and preparing them to become registered. It also gives them a glimpse into other avenues that they may wish to pursue …
One of the great things about architectural insulated precast panels is that they can incorporate all aspects of a standard wall in a single prefabricated assembly. This includes the structural load-bearing perimeter, exterior air and vapor barrier, insulation, and yes, many times electrical conduit for everything from outlets and light switches to lighting and egress signage. how all of these …
