"Flying Jibs" To The Rescue in Miami
Precast Services, Inc.' "Flying Jibs" were called into action at the Miami Center West project to complete a difficult task - erect the remaining ten (10) spandrel panels along the underside of the structure which could not be erected using traditional methods due to outside interferences and the previous installation of windows.
Precast Services, Inc. utilized two (2) separate "flying jibs" to complete the task.  First, a sixteen (16) Ton capacity jib measuring approximately 8'-6" wide by 26-0' long, with a 4,900 pound counterweight, was used to erect five (5) spandrels, the longest of which measured just over 30 feet long. 
The larger of the two (2) jibs, a thirty (30) Ton capacity jib measuring just under 17'-0" wide by 40'-0" long, with a 5,000 pound counterweight was used to erect five (5) additional spandrels, the longest of which measured 41'-9".  These engineered, specialized "below the hook" lifting devices proved to be invaluable to the completion of the project.

Penn Medicine @ Radnor - Wayne, PA
One of Precast Services, Inc.' erection crews will be busy through June of 2019 erecting 884 pieces of structural precast panels for Penn Medicines new Advance Outpatient Center Parking Garage.  

The 994-car garage is being built adjacent to the 250,000 square-foot Outpatient Center.

“This facility will provide exemplary outpatient care and contains all of the services you would find in a hospital setting with the exception of beds for overnight stays,” said Rob Cottone, President and CEO of IMC Construction. “It is a ground-up building, easily accessible by car or public transportation and highly energy efficient.”

The Outpatient Center is located on the former BioMed site and within walking distance of the Radnor Train Station. Clad in brick masonry and high-performance glass, the building has abundant natural light and views of nature. It is targeted for a sustainability level of LEED Silver.

Penn Medicine Radnor will house a heart and vascular center, comprehensive cancer care, women’s health, orthopedic and rehabilitation medicine, neurosciences and other medical subspecialties, with eighteen (18) different departments within the facility. An outpatient surgery suite includes six (6) surgical and four (4) endoscopy rooms, along with full radiology and laboratory services.
