Safety and longevity were of paramount importance, so we used pre-engineered steel on this 214,000 sf project covering 22.5 acres. The 6 structures were built with seismic activity in the region in mind and are expected to survive earthquakes. Pre-engineered steel also allows for wider roof spans of up to 120 feet with fewer supporting columns required. This creates more interior space for the large equipment moving inside the buildings.
Leveraging the material’s strength, 27 bridge cranes are used inside the facility. Without the need for additional structures, the cranes – the smallest ones weighing approximately 3 tons – can travel across longer distances unobstructed. This makes for easier and safer workflows.
