The Precast Concrete Institute has recognized RW with one of its 2008 Design Awards. RW’s Mystic River Modernization Project received recognition for excellence in the category “Innovation in Sustainability”. The project scope included 240 Kitchen and Bathroom Module additions to an existing apartment complex in Somerville, MA. The precast modules were fully outfitted with fixtures and accessories prior to erection at the housing site. In addition, the modules were cast with an integral series of reveals and rustifications to provide a sharp horizontal “clapboard” effect with trim at window and horizontal joints. The module additions provided an efficient and effective solution to the needs of the housing community. By utilizing creative precast modular applications, RW actively engages in the industry wide effort to provide highly sustainable construction solutions.
