When a warehouse\nat the Komatsu manufacturing complex in Longview, Texas, sustained extensive tornado\ndamage, the company decided to build a new, state-of-the-art warehouse in its\nplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Komatsu turned to a trusted business partner, Transet Co.<\/a>, a Longview-based design-build contractor, to demolish the old structure and construct its 81,438-square-foot replacement. The new warehouse features insulated metal panels (IMPs) from Metl-Span<\/a> in both the roof and wall systems, as well as a permanent rooftop walkway system from LMCurbs<\/a>, which was installed to facilitate ongoing maintenance of the rooftop HVAC units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dale Pickard, project manager for Transet Co., the\nIMPs not only made for smooth construction, but they helped the warehouse meet building envelope energy requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges on the\nproject included a tight schedule, unseasonably rainy weather and accommodating\nnearby manufacturing facilities that were continuously operational. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LMCurbs Roofwalk System was installed to facilitate ongoing maintenance of the rooftop HVAC units and protect the roof. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The scope of work included the removal of the previous structure and subgrade remediation. After the footings and slab were in place, the Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) was erected. The system was supplied by Houston-based Mid-West Steel Building Co.<\/a> and erected by Cannon Steel Erection Co.<\/a>, located in Tyler, Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the metal frame\nand roof purlins were in place, Cannon Steel Erection installed the IMPs to\ncomplete the wall and roof systems. \u201cYou basically go in sequence from left to\nright with the IMP roofing panels,\u201d Pickard explains. \u201cYou just start at one\nend, work to the other end, and then come back and install the panels on the\nother side. It\u2019s basically a straight line process from one end to the other.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roofing panels\nwere 42 inches wide and 4 1\/2 inches thick and incorporated a standing seam. \u201cThe\npanels attach at the purlin with a concealed fastener clip,\u201d says Pickard. \u201cThe\nIMP has a finished skin on the upper and lower sides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seams were\nhand crimped and then mechanically seamed. At the eave, a gutter system was\ninstalled after the roof and wall panels were tied in together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers on the\nroof were tied off with personal fall arrest systems and retractable lifelines\nattached to non-penetrating temporary anchor points. \u201cAll facets of\nconstruction safety were of paramount importance to Transet Co.,\u201d Pickard states.\n\u201cSafety was and is the first order of business for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing the Roof Installation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The roof system features Kingspan<\/a> skylights, which were installed using custom curbs supplied by LMCurbs, headquartered in Longview, Texas. LMCurbs also supplied curbs for the HVAC units, as well as the rooftop walkway system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The LMCurbs Roofwalk System was installed using H90 clamps from S-5!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The walkway was\ninstalled after all of the HVAC equipment was in place and the roof system was\ncompleted. The LMCurbs Roofwalk System was designed to provide a safe way to\naccess HVAC equipment while protecting the roof. \u201cIt\u2019s basically a roof access\narea for the maintenance personnel to enter,\u201d Pickard says. \u201cIt\u2019s a railed\nwalkway gated at one corner of the building for access, and it goes to each one\nof the rooftop units (RTUs). In all, there is more than 1,400 linear feet of\nwalkway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system was mounted using S-5!<\/a> H90 clamps. \u201cThere were no penetrations in the roof,\u201d Pickard points out. \u201cIt\u2019s a durable system that will protect the owner\u2019s investment in the roof.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Aaron\nCombs, product manager at LMCurbs, the project was one of the first to use the\ncompany\u2019s redesigned LMCurbs Roofwalk System with upgraded handrails. \u201cIt was\ndesigned to be both a better looking, more professional end product for the\nbuilding owner, and a more user-friendly system for the installers in the\nfield,\u201d Combs says. \u201cThe new handrail assembly utilizes Speed-Rail fitting by\nHollaender and is now down to four pieces \u2014 from 28\u2014 so the number of man-hours\nneeded to install the system is drastically reduced. It also streamlined the\nwarehousing and distribution process because the redesigned support plates\neliminated multiple manufacturing processes. With this redesign and stackable\nplates, we are able to maintain better stocking levels and provide our\ncustomers with a faster shipping timeframe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field\ninstallations often present unique and unforeseen obstacles. On this project,\nwhen the location of some HVAC units was adjusted from the initial layout,\nCombs was ready to help ensure the walkway would be installed correctly. \u201cWe\nare always available to offer advice and technical support, and that can be\nespecially important with a first-time installer,\u201d Combs says. \u201cThey can\ncontact us any time and we can help walk them through it and assist with any\nissues that might arise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work began in\nApril 2019 and wrapped up February 2020. \u201cWe had a wet start, which made soil\nremediation difficult,\u201d notes Pickard. \u201cIn the latter part of our project, we\nhad an extremely wet January and February, and that presented challenges in\nerection and finish out. Despite the bad weather, the building came together\nahead of schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coordinating all\nphases of the project at an active manufacturing campus also posed some\nlogistical hurdles. \u201cThe existing plant, of course, was in operation the entire\ntime,\u201d recalls Pickard. \u201cThe site where the new warehouse was being built was\nwhere the old warehouse facility was, and the existing loading dock had to\nremain in operation until they were in the new building. That encroached on the\nfootprint of the new facility.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final\ntouches included new loading docks, interior offices and restrooms. \u201cThis\nproject shows our ability to deliver an outcome that meets the client\u2019s needs\nfrom design to finished product \u2014 safely, under budget, and ahead of schedule,\u201d\nnotes Pickard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt demonstrates our ability to provide a first-class warehouse facility for the owner. We\u2019ve been doing it a long time. Our company has been in business for 38 years. We are a safety-oriented company with vast experience in most phases of commercial, industrial, and institutional construction, and we are there for our customers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
