California Sign Interiors a Los Angeles Sign Company - Great Wolf Resort Project

Structural concrete work for the 603-suite Great Wolf Resort included a nine-story cast-inplace structure for the hotel and 40 tilt-up panels of all different sizes for a three-acre indoor/outdoor water park.

Largo created an in-house BIM model to better understand the logistics of forming, casting and hoisting the hefty tilt-up panels, and to identify any problem areas prior to mobilization. Safety was a major concern during hoisting, but Largo maintained an incident free safety record through 120,000 worker hours by tightly controlling site access during the lifts.

Because the interior of the water park mostly features landscaping, there were no structural slabs to act as a diaphragm to which panels could be attached. As a result, the project team spent months during preconstruction devising a way to provide attachment points to the footing that were economical and worked within the constraints of California’s seismic building code.
