The Grand Strand Water and Sewer Authority in South Carolina has grown from a utility with no assets, customers or funding in the early 1970s, into a company with more than 60,000 customers. To manage its expanding service area, the concern has had to add staff and build a new headquarters. Adorning the recently completed office building is approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of Englert jobsite-rollformed metal roofing.

The Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles was established along with the prominent movie studios during the early 20th century. In one of its high-end apartment complexes, a new water feature created with Banker Wire mesh, emphasizes the connection between Studio City and the movie industry – and provides a canvas for multimedia entertainment.

Hangars are by and large an unglamorous building type. That is not to say, however, that they aren’t vitally important to the protection of expensive property. And one of the key features of any hangar is its door. It needs to be reliable and it needs to be strong. That was the thinking behind the specification of a Schweiss bifold door for a hangar adjacent the administration building Granite Falls Municipal Airport in Granite Falls, MN.

Located only a stone’s throw from the Gulf of Mexico, a new 4,500-sq.-ft. residence in Grayton Beach, Fla., is a “gorgeous addition to the neighborhood,” said roofing contractor Jamie Carter, president of Cartercraft Roofing, Santa Rosa Beach, Fla. General contractor Ray Jackson of Ray Jackson Construction agrees. An aluminum standing seam roof from Petersen was an integral part of the design for the new house.

1848 Construction Inc. of Middleton, WI used a Rigid Frame structural system from Varco Pruden Buildings to construct the GRB Academy, an impressive indoor baseball and softball training facility in DeForest, WI.

Pascal Steel Corporation, an authorized Nucor Building Systems builder, has constructed the new Great American Pavilion at California’s Great America Amusement Park in Santa Clara, California. The facility is home to the Red Zone Rally pregame events for San Francisco 49ers home games and other Levi’s® Stadium events as well as corporate events, community gatherings, product launches, holiday parties and much more.

Great Falls Elementary School is among a select number of schools in Maine to be heated and cooled exclusively with a geothermal system. That says something not only about the school’s design, but also about those making project decisions. That those same people saw fit to top the energy-efficient school with standing seam roofing from Englert Inc. is equally impressive. It is a testament not only to the reputation of metal roofing in general, but also for the products of Perth Amboy, NJ-based Englert in particular.

The four-story Michigan Tech Great Lakes Research Center provides 15,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art laboratory space and classrooms intended for biological, chemical, and physical research and education.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto officially inaugurated the Great Monument, commemorating the centennial of the Mexican Army, in a ceremony at Campo Marte in Mexico City. The monument integrates two dramatic elements that symbolize the strength of the Mexican Army and the work of the Armed Forces over 100 years. An important component in its design and construction was RHEINZINK material from RHEINZINK America Inc.

In January 2012, the 1,200 students of Virginia Beach’s Great Neck Middle came back from winter break to receive one last gift – a new school. Completed in December 2011, the over $35 million dollar project consists of a three-story building employing sustainable materials, the newest technologies, and an aesthetically appealing structural design. Among the materials used to give the building its modern look are ALPOLIC ACM aluminum composite wall panels from Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America.

There were plenty of challenges associated with the installation of metal roofing on one of the newest homes in Belgrade Lakes, ME, but nothing the project’s accomplished metal roofing fabricator/installer couldn’t handle. C.O. Beck & Sons of Waterville, ME, installed the roofing on the 6,000 sq. ft. home, like so many of the homes in the exclusive resort area. And as is routinely the case with Beck & Sons’ projects, the contractor’s roofing of choice was Englert job-site rollformed metal.

A new 24,510 sq. ft. kiln building was constructed for Green Acre Farms to be used as a hop drying facility for the Wapato, Washington operation. Measuring 114’ wide x 215’ long x 28’ high, the kiln building features products from Star Building Systems.

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor a 500-year flood detained Green Valley Ag & Turf from opening its new John Deere dealership facility in Mt. Vernon, IA, on-time and on-budget in the fall of 2008, despite the worst weather on record in modern Iowa history. Playing a key role in the success of this project was a 39,000 sq. ft. metal building supplied by Ceco Building Systems.

Greenfield Manufacturing, a contract chemical manufacturing company in Sarasota Springs, NY, needed a new facility, having outgrown the building it was leasing. With the goal of constructing a maintenance-free and energy-efficient facility, while keeping aesthetics in mind, insulated metal panels from Metl-Span were chosen to provide all solutions.

After a decade of throwing money at ongoing problems, Greenhill School in Addison, Texas, finally decided it was time to deal with leaky roof issues on its gymnasium and natatorium. The solution came from McElroy Metal’s 238T symmetrical standing seam roofing system, installed by Supreme Roofing of Dallas.

In January 2017, Greenhouse Church contracted with Ceco Builder Scherer Construction of North Florida LLC, of Gainesville, FL to build their new worship facility, using a custom metal building system. The church’s mission was to build a multi-generational, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic community while making an impact in the greater Gainesville community.

GreenHouse Short North, a new seven-story, mixed-use development with 158 units in the Short North area of Columbus, OH, has an impressive list of amenities to draw tenants. And it has the looks to match. Featured on the project's exterior is 64,000 square feet of Omega-Lite® by Laminators Incorporated.

Hail storms are not uncommon in Nebraska, and many times they can be very severe with hail ranging from a half-dollar to a softball in size. Recently two buildings, managed by Greenleaf Properties, found themselves in the crosshairs of just such an event - and this storm lasted nearly seven hours. The resulting damage was extensive, leading to a metal-over-metal reroof of the facilities using special factory-notched sub-purlins from Roof Hugger.

Approximately 1,000 ft. of RHEINZINK® gutters and downspouts provide great looks and better drainage for one Greenwich, CT, residence. The gutters were installed by Greenwich Specialties, Inc. and unlike traditional gutter systems, the half-round RHEINZINK gutters are supported from below with brackets. Cradling the gutter from below helps keep the gutter clear and makes cleaning and maintenance easier. The half-round shape reduces the dependence on slope to move water compared to flat-bottom gutter designs.

Grey Wolf Architecture of Denver, CO, had style, finesse and energy in mind when it specified approximately 5,000 sq. Ft. of Omega-Lite aluminum composite material wall panels for the exterior of the Greenwood Athletic Center in Greenwood, CO. Manufactured by Laminators Incorporated of Hatfield, PA, the Silver Metallic and Sierra Tan-colored exterior wall panels were installed by Sondrup Sheet Metal of Englewood, CO, using the manufacturer’s 1-piece, Tight-Fit moldings system. All reveal moldings were mitered at the 4-way intersections, providing a more polished and professional appearance.
