OUTSTANDING  CONCRETE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Presented  to
The  Drury Inn, Indianapolis, Indiana

The  Indiana Ready Mixed Concrete Association (IRMCA) presented the 2008 Outstanding  Concrete Achievement Awards for projects in the State of Indiana on January 13,  2009 at the Indianapolis East Marriott.

In  the category of Concrete Commercial & Industrial Projects: Cast-in-Place  Frame, one of the winners is the Drury Inn located in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The  project team is the owner/developer: Drury  Inn, the Engineering and Architectural firm and General Contractor: Druco, the concrete finisher: Rago Concrete Ltd, and the ready mix  producer: Builder’s Concrete &  Supply, Inc.

The  structure of this hotel was constructed entirely from reinforced concrete and  post-tensional concrete. An insulated concrete form system (ICF) was designed  and constructed to give the perimeter better insulation and sound proofing. The  mix for the structure consists of 5000 psi reinforced columns and  cast-in-place, post-tensional decks. Tendons were pulled in 2-3 days after  obtaining 3000 psi in winter conditions

Drury  Inn has made a decision to use ICF’s for the perimeter walls in almost all of  their future constructions. They were able to downsize their entire roof top  heating and cooling units thus allowing them to save on their energy costs.  This is one of the largest ICF jobs in the state.
The  hotel totals over 6,000 cubic yards of concrete.

IRMCA  presents these awards to recognize extensive application or imaginative use of  concrete; and to honor the accomplishments of project owners, architects,  engineers, contractors, owners and ready mixed concrete producers.
