Kalahari Resort and Water Park
Sandusky, Ohio

The Prestressed Group (Hollowcore Incorporated) is a major contributor in the construction of Kalahari’s new resort in Sandusky, Ohio. The resort consists of a water park, a two-building high-rise hotel and multi-story condominiums. A hollowcore tunnel roof is being constructed in the basement of each building to carry mechanical, electrical and plumbing services between the four separate structures. The resort needs 270 colored precast concrete balconies for the hotel and condominiums on the resort. Additional challenges are arising due to skewed columns that lean to one side of the exterior. The balconies have to be fished through the columns in order to be placed and each balcony is different because of their connection to the skewed columns.

Precaster: Hollowcore Incorporated
Designer: Planning Design Build, Inc.

Technical Note: The Prestressed Group produced over 355,000 sq. ft. of 8” and 12” Hollowcore planks for the resort, including 11,980 sq. ft. for the water park with two feet of soil applied over the planks which are able to meet the very high loading capacity requirement.
