Universal Steel Buildings construction division recently engineered, supplied and installed an Olympia Steel Buildings pre engineered metal building to Fortune Plastic & Metal, a recycling company based in Dallas, as part of a turnkey construction package.
Prior to building installation, Universal Steel Buildings construction division provided the concrete work for perimeter footing, piers and reinforced concrete slab. The 9045 square foot building has three 14' x 14' overhead doors and one 10' x 10' overhead door installed for ease of access for the many truck deliveries of materials both going in and coming out of the recycling plant. Light sand was chosen as the color of both panels and trim on the attractive building to be put into service in Fortune's recycling business for sorting and managing their clients' scrap materials.
Mr Jonathan Mass construction department design estimator said that "It was great working with Fortune Plastic & Metal on this project. Everything went well down to the last detail, right on time and on schedule, and they ended up with a beautiful building."
