Project Description: MidState Precast produced and erected modular wall panels, floor and roof planks using SACON®, a low-density, fiber-reinforced, formed concrete developed by the Structures Laboratory at the US Army Engineer Research & Development Center in association with Ballistics Technology, for use in the construction of live-fire training. A total of 2,100 modular wall panels on the first floor were 8' tall, 40" wide and 30" thick of solid bullet-absorbing concrete. 140 sections of floor and roof planks were 14' to 16' wide with a 6" conventional core and SACON on either both sides or one side, depending on the application.
