Featured Project: Medical Supply Storage in Haiti
While
there are many features of steel arch buildings that attracted UNOPS,
two of the most important qualities for a building in a relief area are
security and durability. SteelMaster metal buildings offer fire
resistance and the ability to withstand the worst weather conditions on
the planet. All buildings meet hurricane wind ratings (up to 170 mph)
and Seismic Zone IV, or Category D earthquake rating. “With our
structures being the fastest to assemble using un-skilled labor and no
special equipment, we can deliver a building anywhere in the world that
can be assembled in half the time of conventional construction,” says
Gary.
When United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) needed a steel
arch building for a medical supply distribution center in Haiti, they
went to CSS International Holdings to find a company that could meet
their specifications. That’s when SteelMaster Buildings’ partnership with CSS began.
After several rounds of design reviews and modifications, SteelMaster’s Emergency Relief Project Manager, Gary Parker, designed a 52’W x 20’H x 65’L steel building that CSS was ready to construct for UNOPS. Once the building was manufactured, SteelMaster assisted with all of the logistics involved in getting the building to Haiti. CSS worked with local Haitians to construct the building, while SteelMaster’s team in Virginia Beach, VA served as project advisors throughout the process. Construction time took approximately 30 days from start to finish and ended with CSS getting the seal of approval by UNOPS.
