National Energy Company

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 16:09:02 +0000

A national energy company needed a relocatable office building serving as a template for future jobsites throughout the U.S. The design-build project yielded a building with high-end finishes, sustainable material use, and energy saving practices while allowing for the possibility of relocation or expansion in the future. The building façade is orientated to take advantage of the sight lines to a major interstate highway as well as material and contractor flow through the secure site. The building exterior highlights the main south facing entrance with deep blue vertical metal siding framed by the base-required neutral building siding color. The exterior split faced wainscot limestone finish further enhances the buildings curb appeal while meeting the LEED-based sustainable criteria.

Martin Marietta

Tue, 07 Apr 2020 15:50:31 +0000

When Martin Marietta required an in-plant breakroom that was more conveniently located to their common work areas, modular construction was deemed the best option in order to limit the impact to their 24/7 plant operations. Ramtech was able to design and install a 1,080 square foot facility with ten-foot-wide modules that fit into an area between the extensive piping and rigging of one of the cement plant’s kilns. R-panel metal siding and painted serrated OSHA-compliant stairs and ramps were then used to aesthetically blend in with the metallic look and feel of the surrounding structure. The interior features a large open break room and two restrooms, all with matte finished ceramic tile floors and a combination of a grey tile wainscot and FRP on the walls for easy cleaning.
