953 N. Sycamore – Mat Foundation Pour

Largo completed a 5,000cy mat pour at the 953 N. Sycamore project in Los Angeles on June 17. Running three pumps, the foundation pour lasted over 12-hours with the first Cemex readymix truck arriving at 2:00 a.m. Designed by Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects and structural engineers at the BPA Group, the uppermost levels of the mid-rise commercial building are offset from the parking levels below, creating a twisting effect as the building moves up. The building is scheduled to be complete in March of 2018 and has a total of 11 levels, two of which are below grade, spread across 214,573gsf. This is the third project Largo has worked on with GC/Developer the CIM Group over the last couple years; the 925 La Brea project and 7007 Romaine are both located less than a block away. Later this summer, Largo begins work on the 904 La Brea project with the same owner, also a stone’s throw away from 953 N. Sycamore.

Shoring and Formwork on a Cantilevered Balcony Deck

Check out the shoring and forming of the cantilevered balcony decks at our 8th & Spring Street Project in downtown Los Angeles! We utilized a Peri Beam-Deck Table System to move the shoring from one level to the next more efficiently and also support the cantilevered slab load without installing shoring all the way to the ground. Although the deck immediately below the cantilever is several feet in from its slab edge, our in-house Engineering Department was able to design the re-shoring system which allowed the loads that are coming down from deck table’s outside legs to be transferred and distributed into to the poured decks below without causing problems to the structure.
