BLAIRSVILLE, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- Challenge: The client needed a quick solution to enclose a large crane and add office space, while maintaining full plant floor visibility.

Solution: Panel Built Inc. delivered a comprehensive solution by installing a 37' x 27' enclosure with a mezzanine, effectively augmenting the available space by 1,365 square feet. This expansion not only facilitated the accommodation of the crane but also integrated office facilities into the structure. The enclosure was outfitted with 45 surrounding windows to ensure unimpeded visibility, offering a panoramic 360-degree view of operational activities.

Key Elements:

Class A Interior Walls: The walls were crafted with 3" thick composite sandwich panels featuring 1/8" Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic on the exterior and interior surfaces, finished in pristine white. An aluminum extruded binder post system, positioned every 4', housed all electrical components, maintaining functionality and aesthetic coherence.
