Broderick Potato Storage:

The key to the success of this potato storage facility construction project was timely completion - the year's bumper crop had to be harvested and stored before first frost.

Description:

This pre-cast concrete tilt-up structure was put up by Three Way Builders Ltd. under an extremely tight schedule, following completion of a similar building for the same client a year before. Design changes recommended by Three Way Builders Ltd. were made to the pre-cast ventilating ducts installed under the entire floor area, resulting in reduced construction time.

The effective integration and orchestration of work crews allowed for simultaneous work to take place in cast-in-place concrete, pre-cast concrete, installation of large span wood trusses, and application of metal cladding. This coordinated approach was the key to the success of this job.
