64 million Australia dollars, 211,000-sq.-ft. project recently completed by West Sacramento-based Clark Pacific is the first State of California office building to feature "all-in-one" total precast construction. The Caltrans District 3 Office Building in Marysville features architecturally finished precast column, beam and floor plank elements-produced from locally extracted materials-joined in a hybrid moment frame system. A design-build team led by architect AC Martin and general contractor Turner Construction selected total precast for the new Caltrans facility to achieve cost-effective, rapid erection with superior seismic performance and a high-end architectural appearance, while promoting environmental stewardship. The building's precast components were fabricated over 14 weeks, and erection of the above-grade structure was accomplished in 19 weeks. Application is underway for a LEED [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] Silver rating for the project.
