Olympia Steel Buildings Production Plant
According to Bill Gallenz, President at Reinforcement Systems, the company’s three major criteria for selection were service, quality and cost, and Olympia Steel Buildings fulfilled all these requirements.
The 60,000-square-foot production facility will have complete automated equipment in the major part of the plant and a comprehensive overhead crane system to transport raw materials and finished products. A large fabrication area is also a part of the plant design. The plant will feature total insulation system and exhaust fans and will be coated with cool paints from AkzoNobel to improve energy efficiency.
Reinforcement Systems’ $28 million worth plant is anticipated to hire 65 employees in the coming three years and will have sufficient space to increase the plant size to accommodate future growth. The Olympia Steel Buildings metal building system has the design flexibility to meet the projected expansion.
The President at Universal Steel Buildings, Arnold Davis commented that it was imperative to meet all the OSHA specifications as well as the building codes for this building. Universal Steel Buildings, Reinforcement Systems and the contractor worked closely to meet all the requirements, he added.
