Custom Steel Milling Complex in Platteville, Colorado
Sunward Steel supplied this trio of pre-engineered metal commercial buildings in 1996 for a Platteville, Colorado-based milling company.
Offering plenty of space for inventory, milling and processing equipment, and office and administrative areas, the three steel buildings are custom-designed to meet the needs of the company known for producing conventional and wheat flours. All three buildings share an attractive, cohesive look, featuring Stone Beige walls and Dark Green Galvalume roofs and trim packages, with the Galvalume steel roofs helping guard against condensation and mold growth.
All three structures have high ceilings, allowing for the storage and use of large milling equipment. They also feature liner panels that give the interiors a clean, complete look and gutters and downspouts that channel rain and snow away from the metal buildings’ exterior walls and foundations, reducing moisture buildup and long-term wear.
Low-maintenance, long-lasting and easy on the eyes, these pre-engineered metal buildings are also adaptable and expandable, should the business’s needs change in the future. They also arrived at the jobsite already partway assembled, saving the owner significant time and money on assembly costs.
