When replacing a correctional facility from the 1800’s, St. Lawrence County officials determined that the benefits of a total precast building would serve them well now and for decades to come. Tindall gave county officials exactly what they wanted. This project benefited from faster occupancy thanks to the efficiencies of total precast construction, Tindall’s expert management, and lower project costs. Tindall’s six-sided cell modules and a unique architectural finish on exterior cell walls provided a structure that was both visually appealing and functional. Tindall also developed a three-textured form liner for this construction.

The completed project included 80 double-cell modules and 46 three-sided plenum units. The design also utilized wall panels, flat slabs, beams, and columns of various sizes. Tindall combined several exterior wall styles for an aesthetically pleasing finish. The four total precast housing pods were erected in just seven weeks.
Modules were delivered with prestressed floors and fully up fitted MEP chase for fast hook-up on site, which compressed schedules and reduced cost. Cells arrived fully furnished and with finished interiors, each featuring a clean, durable surface provided by Tindall’s environmentally controlled paint system. This total precast facility brought St. Lawrence officials valuable savings by shortening the schedule and providing quicker occupancy.
