WARREN, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Conquest Firespray, a manufacturer of Flamebar® coated fire-rated HVAC duct systems, announced that FINFROCK is inserting Conquest’s Flamebar ducts into its precast/prestressed concrete components during the manufacturing process.
FINFROCK’s patented DualDeck – a spanning member consisting of two form-finished concrete slabs joined together by a steel truss – has interstitial space to accommodate subsystems. After manufacturing, structural components are shipped to the site and assembled from foundation to roof in zones.
FINFROCK initially began designing and integrating plumbing and electrical systems into the components during manufacturing, but fire-rated shafts were installed after assembly of the building, driving up cost and risk.
Working closely with Conquest’s engineering staff, FINFROCK developed a system to insert Conquest’s Flamebar fire-rated ducts into the floors members, eliminating the need for fire-rated shafts. By incorporating the Flamebar fire-rated ducts during the manufacturing process in a quality-controlled, factory operation, the building owner is assured of a code-compliant system, while FINFROCK speeds the delivery of a complete building by combining its vertically integrated business model and offsite construction.
FINFROCK is a leader in providing cost-effective, rapid delivery of various types of multi-story buildings. By using 3D modeling design technology, and computer-aided manufacturing, FINFROCK fabricates state-of-the-art precast/prestressed concrete structural systems that incorporate key subsystems into the structural components. The result is unparalleled value for multifamily housing, hotels, office and mixed-use buildings with early, accurate prices and guaranteed on-time delivery.
“Conquest’s Flamebar ducts offer FINFROCK a feature that they had not been able to include in their building system until now,” said Conquest’s Dick McCullough. “Working with Conquest, FINFROCK can now offer a system that is complete with pre-installed fire-rated ducts, increasing schedule certainty and driving down costs.”
