SUSTAINABILITY IN ACTION

LEED® — Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design — is an internationally recognized standard for sustainable building design and construction.

Sustainability was an important part of the project from construction through material selection:

• 44 metric tonnes of construction waste were diverted from landfill and sent to recycling facilities.

• 25% of construction materials incorporated recycled content.

• 75% of construction materials were purchased or produced locally, helping reduce the environmental impact associated with transportation.

Large-scale construction. Long-term performance. Responsible building practices.

For industrial companies, the places where their work is carried out are their most important assets. These structures need to house and protect important equipment, raw materials, finished products and workers.  So when it’s time to build, owners need to know that their contractors understand the importance of what goes on within the walls of a new industrial facility.

Here we aided in the construction of an expansion of the existing plant.  In addition to extremely high walls, the expansion contained a control room, server room, flex room, training room, office spaces, conference rooms and a cafeteria which included large and complex bulkheads.  We also had to extend the roof to accommodate three exit niches.
