LTL Warehouse/Distribution facility with Offices and Maintenace Shop

Featured in Metal Construction News May 2018 Project Spotlight

Winner of 2017 MBCEA Warehouse Award of Merit

This Mid-West Steel Building Company project consisted of three buildings: a 47,000 sf freight distribution terminal, 5,000 sf of office space, and a 20,000 sf maintenance shop. Thomas Phoenix International completed this pre-engineered project just north of Chicago, Illinois in January of 2016. The buildings were clad with MBCI BattenLok roof panels and MBCI AVP wall panels. 136 skylights and over 130 door openings kept our crews busy with framed openings, curbs and trims.

Re-roofing in the Tropics

Winner of Metal Construction News 2018 Metal Roofing Retrofit award.

Article: Tropical Reroofing.

After hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, Thomas Phoenix traveled to St. Thomas, USVI to perform a slope-build up install of 162,000 square feet of MR-24 roof on 12 separate roofing planes. BRII siding panels close off the elevation change with seamed gables to achieve 165mph wind-rating. Battling constant power outages and post-hurricane supply shortages, our crew trained and worked side by side with local craftsmen to rebuild and renovate this local plaza and allow businesses to return.

266' Clear-span Aircraft Hangar

This hangar required significant pre-planning to complete successfully. The main hangar had 266’ of clear-span rafters along six lines of the primary steel. A previous erection company suffered a catastrophic collapse due to lack of temporary bracing during the erection phase of the primary steel. Our planning determined that modular erection was a safer alternative to stick- built. However, the FAA approved only a 120’ crane boom tip height, which effectively ruled out the extra rigging that using a spreader bar would have required. To complicate matters, the site had only 15’ available around the entire hangar perimeter, (on one side of which was an active tarmac), so the entire structure had to be staged and erected practically within its own footprint. We made detailed 3d models in order to illustrate our plan to the building owners and engineers for approval, along with an extensive temporary bracing plan. Four 133’ long modules weighing nearly 90,000 lbs each were constructed on the ground and then  flown into position in pairs, connected at each end and the peak simultaneously.
