HOUSTON/DALLAS, TX — WALTER P MOORE has been named a Design Award Winner for RadioShack Riverfront Campus in the 2006 Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) Design & Construction Excellence Awards Competition. Cited for 'the exemplary use of site-cast reinforced concrete,' RadioShack’s modern campus consists of three, six-story office buildings, a commons building, a 2,400-space parking garage and a retail store.

An innovation of the project was the use of Grade 75 reinforcement (instead of Grade 60), which reduced overall tonnage and saved funds. Additionally, 23% of the project’s total cement was replaced by fly ash, thereby improving air quality via lower emissions from cement processing. These were but two elements of many which qualified it to receive the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Silver Certification.

The Dallas office of WALTER P MOORE provided structural engineering services for the 900,000 square foot project.

CRSI is the authoritative resource for all items and information related to site-cast reinforced concrete construction. Established in 1924, CRSI’s main objective is to foster the continued growth of reinforced concrete construction to its present multi-million dollar status.
