Penn State Health, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center

Stief Concrete formed, installed rebar, and poured the foundation for the tower crane that will be used in the Hershey Medical Center expansion. The crane foundation was 20’ x 24’ x 6,’ with approximately 7.7 tons of rebar reinforcement. Although this was a smaller job in size, the formwork was difficult. Stief needed to ensure that the forms would hold the concrete pour, with little to no props/support on the outside. Thus, wall ties were welded to rebar in the foundation to secure the forms. The pour went well, with no problems. Stief Concrete poured a hoist pad for the project as well.
