I'm in the schematic phase of a warehouse expansion. The existing exterior walls are non-load bearing insulated precast panels. It has been suggested to relocate the panels from the existing structure, at the tie-in, to the exterior wall of the new structure. There are elevation differences that I can account for with concrete knee walls. There will also be a slight slope difference in the roof. My thought is that it will be difficult to reuse existing top tie back locations. I am thinking that post installed tie backs would be required at most locations.
Has anyone ever seen this done successfully? Any advice or other pitfalls to watch out for?
