When a building's roof is 11 acres wide, alternative measures of transporting materials to the top must be taken.
Viega is in
the process of building its new 439,000-square-foot manufacturing and logistics
facility in McPherson, Kan. But when the building’s roof is 11 acres wide,
alternative measures of transporting materials must be taken.
The
company’s building contractor utilized a helicopter instead of a crane to
deliver 28 new a/c and exhaust units to the top of the project ― in just one
hour 14 minutes flat ― on the morning of Aug. 26.
When
it is finished later this year, Viega’s new plant will house production for all
the company’s plastics products, including ViegaPEX tubing and ViegaPEX
manifold plumbing systems. For more information about Viega, visitwww.viega.com.
