Upcoming Job: A climate controlled storage facility which will be started July 10th on Northshore Drive at Pellissippi Parkway in West Knoxville. The Facility is being built by Sun Constructors LLC. They have chosen ICF for its excellent thermal efficiency and strength.

Located in the heart of Pigeon Forge, The Water Resort will provide vacationers with exclusive accommodations conveniently located among one of the top shopping and entertainment districts in the southeast.  Reaching seven stories tall, The Water Resort will be one of the first multi-story condominium complexes built entirely out of ICF.

Dionas-Whelchel, the company behind this project has chosen insulated concrete form construction because of the many benefits it provides.  Insulated concrete forms are ideal in this situation because of their noise insulation qualities.  Pigeon Forge is known for its many car shows and exhibitions which can sometimes disturb vacationers in nearby condos and hotels, but in The Water Resort, environmental noise will not be a factor.  For condo owners, the superior thermal insulation qualities will keep heating and air conditioning costs to a minimum, making this one of the most affordable pieces of real estate in the area.
 
Dionas-Whelchel has chosen Parks ICF for our reputation for top-quality work at an affordable price.  Parks ICF is proud to be chosen for this difficult project.  Having already completed many projects in the area, our company is one of the few who have the experience and knowledge to tackle such a project.  We invite you to take a look at a few of the photos in this project gallery and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

DionasWhelchel Properties chose ICF construction for their corporate headquarters due to the flexibility and durability of the ICF walls while resulting in only minimal plan alterations. Since their business is construction and development they wanted to use a product that would provide significant energy efficiency as well as create an environment that supported a superior level indoor air quality. ICF construction with its seamless connection and thermal mass quality was best suited to provide such an environment. In addition to the indoor air quality and the tight seal, the use of ICF construction has virtually eliminated the opportunity for mold and mildew to grow.

Nestled deep in the heart of Wear’s Valley, The Homestead offers a serene escape from everyday life.  Built using ICF, this luxury cabin retreat boasts the strongest foundation on the mountain.  With a game room on the first floor, the noise insulation qualities keep nearby vacationing neighbors happy as well.

The most important part of the stability of a home is the foundation.  Having been in the foundation business for over 8 years, we have seen many basements and foundations severely damaged by water.  Our company wants to help prevent this from happening to you by offering a top of the line waterproofing system to eliminate the risk of water damage.  The Mar-Flex 5000 waterproofing system provides unmatched performance against leaks and seepage.  At the heart of this three step system is the Mar-Flex 5000 waterproofing membrane.  This spray-on membrane provides an excellent waterproof barrier that never dries out and remains flexible to protect against settling.  A 60 mil plastic sheeting then covers the membrane to protect it from backfill debris.  Finally, the Mar-Flex Geo-Mat is installed.  This HDPE mat resembles typical “dimple-board” waterproofing but has a fiber mesh on one side to allow water to flow around the foundation and away from the home.  We are so confident in this waterproofing system, we will give you a 25-year written warranty for your own peace of mind.  This is truly the best waterproofing system available.
