BauGrid WRG Concrete Reinforcement Systems in Renaissance Plaza Project

24-STORY, RENAISSANCE PLAZA Shearwall Reinforcement: BauGrid^®Reinforcement System
	Developer: Lambert Development LLC Contractor: Roel Construction, San Diego Engineer: KPFF, San Diego Architect: Carrier Johnson Rebar Sub: J. L. Davidson, Santee, CA Winner: Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) 2003 Structural Engineering Excellence Award – Best Use of Conventional Techniques in New Building Construction Offsite, 12-foot wide, two-story high BauCages™ of horizontal BauGrids^®, vertical rebars with couplers and steel WF link beams are quickly assembled with a very accurate dimensional tolerance of ± 1/8".
	Onsite, the BauCages™ are rapidly set and easily connected using BauTech’s proprietary SpliceGrids™ at the common vertical edges of the 12-foot wide BauCages™. Forms are speedily set around the dimensionally exact BauCages™ and concrete is rapidly placed and vibrated the full height of the HOOK-FREE "cells" of the BauGrids^®.
	BauGrids^® save labor in both cage fabrication and installation, and eliminates congestion, speeds up concrete placement and form setting, and expedites schedules while providing superior ductility. With ± 1/8" manufacturing tolerance, BauGrids^®provide accurate vertical bar location, making it possible to install a two-story BauCage™ with vertical rebar couplers in less than 30 minutes.
