MetroDeck System
What is the MetroDeck System?
- Incorporates the MetroDeck precast floor/ceiling system and MetroMass CarbonCast wall panels, which are insulated and built for high performance.

Benefits To Our Customers
With the MetroDeck System, our clients see shorter project timelines, reduced construction costs, reduced risk, and substantial energy savings over the life of the building.
The MetroDeck System allows parallel construction, which makes consecutive schedules a thing of the past. We build your precast concrete slabs, precast concrete wall panels, and the other components of your project even as you’re breaking ground.
Assembly can begin as soon as the components are finished, and on-site construction can happen even during the winter. Installation is fast, reducing costs and timelines. Our clients are generally able to open the building to other trades, such as electricians, carpenters, and plumbers, four to five weeks after construction begins.

How It Works
- Interior wythe typically 4-inch, interior face typically painted or left with sealer. No need to furr out the wall.
- Typically, 4 inches of EPS insulation, but we can increase or use XPS and or both.
- C-GRID® carbon fiber grid: non-conducting carbon fibers connect the two wythes together to form a composite 11-inch panel.
- Exterior 3-inch skin incorporates architectural concrete and brick and formliners as required. Sandblast finishes are included, as well as some reveals.
- Per ASHRAE 90.1 panel exceed mass wall continuous insulation R values throughout the US.
- Depth is adjustable based on span.
- Concrete beam: spacing the number can be moved to accommodate MEP. Note prestress strand is located only at the base of beams.
- Bottom deck is only 2 inches. So easy for coring
- Nominal width can be up to 14 feet.
- MetroDeck System joints will typically be hidden by partition walls.
- The location of internal beams can be moved, and one of the exterior beams can be penetrated for ease of MEP coordination.
