Miami Township Fire Department Station No. 69 - Cleves, Ohio

Posted: March 8, 2023 | Projects

This new 17,000-square-foot fire station includes three apparatus bays, two mezzanines, six bunk rooms, a large training room, hose tower, and training facilities. The training facilities, located in and adjacent to the apparatus bay, include a wall for rappelling, a manhole in one of the mezzanines for simulating confined spaces, a balcony and window in the hose tower for practicing rescues, and hoist rings in the hose tower for rappelling practice. The large training room doubles as a community meeting room and a voting station during elections. The exterior of the building was designed to have a more residential scale and appearance while still retaining qualities of a civic building. This was achieved through the use of gabled roofs with standing seam metal roofing, dormers on the apparatus bays, face brick and cast stone.

Mountain Ridge Metals - Millersburg, Pennsylvania

Posted: February 28, 2023 | Projects

This 100,000-square-foot pre-engineered building includes an attached 10,000-square foot conventional steel frame office appendage. The office space provides beautiful views of both the plant operations and the mountain ridge after which the company was named. The facility was uniquely designed from a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing perspective. The plant's aluminum extrusion equipment generates enough waste heat through the process to eliminate the need for much additional heat. In the summer, the mechanical system is designed to create a vortex within the space, which exhausts heat from the top and brings in cooler air at the bottom. Both of these aspects drive down the ongoing operational costs significantly for Mountain Ridge Metals. Natural gas was unavailable at the new site, so a propane tank farm was created to serve the new machinery and the rest of the plant’s needs.
