Architectural design of Wackenhut’s 1,000-bed prison called for exterior walls to be constructed of tilt-up panels. A challenge for Ivey was to maintain plumbing rough-in beneath slab until all exterior walls were formed, poured and tilted on the actual building slab. Ivey pre-fabricated 128 plumbing risers on site.
