When Laticrete wanted to build a new manufacturing plant in Lebanon, Oregon, they turned to a design-build team with experience. Pillar Consulting Group worked with the land owner, facility owner, city and contractor to complete this 80,000 square foot facility in less than 6 months.
Our client wanted to install a concrete secondary containment berm around an existing 10,000 gallon oil tank, along with a new roof cover and maintenance crane over the top of the facility. Pillar worked with the existing building structure adjacent to the tank to create a cost-effective facility.
Pillar Consulting Group was the prime professional for this 40,000 square foot trailer manufacturing facility. The building includes 4000 square feet of office space and a large paint booth, which required careful building and fire code studies to ensure compliance and acceptance of the local Fire Marshall.
A corrosive atmosphere made precast concrete construction the obvious choice for this high-bay building, which also houses a 10-ton overhead bridge crane. Tight building pad area constraints were overcome through the use of a retaining wall under one wall of the building.
With over 135,000 square feet of area, this 600 foot long warehouse building required a building expansion joint to deal with the thermal effects of such a large structure. Multiple loading docks, wide bay spacing and energy efficient design elements create a highly efficient storage and distribution facility.
