Evolving AAS Case Study for Fort Worth Arena Project
The AAS team is looking forward to introducing range of details with customized stone panels design, engineering, and manufacturing, as the Dickies Arena project evolves through different phases of design and construction. AAS is providing stone products using three different cast panels: dry (vibrant-tamp) cast stone, architectural precast (wet-precast), and GFRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete).
Phase One: Support Building
- Custom fabrication of cast stone products coordinated with construction schedule for phase one of the project
- Color matching with architectural precast, GFRC stone products used in the project
GFRC Art Panels
- Custom mold making, design craftsmanship for intricate design panels using GFRC
- GFRC panels: integrated design, engineering, manufacturing of stone panel products
Concentric Stair Treads
- Wet-pour architectural precast concrete stone color matched with dry cast stone and GFRC panels
- Precise engineering, detailed planning for smooth project execution
Cast Stone: Large Pieces, Custom Shapes, Precision
- Design assist – design review, confirmation using CAD drawings
- Active collaboration with architect, contractor right from start of the project
