Bal Harbour Waterfront Park

PROJECT VOIDED SLAB ACHIEVEMENTS:

  • 20’ cantilever on uniquely shaped footprint with voided flat slab.

  • The flat soffit fulfilled the architect’s vision.

  • 83 cu. yds. of concrete were displaced equaling a reduction of 18 tons of CO².

This uniquely designed building houses multi-purpose event spaces, an indoor toddler park as well as administrative offices for the Recreation, Arts & Culture department.  The very large cantilever on the lower roof was the challenge since the intent was to have a flat slab without beams.  The structural engineer, Douglas Wood, accomplished this task by designing a voided slab with the CLS void formers provided by Cobiax USA.
