In the corporate world, it is no secret that the provision of invitation areas can help reduce stress, to promote mental clarity and to improve the well -being of the employees and the productivity of the employee. OMG Building Products, LLC has completed itself for well -being and commitment to employees and commitment to well -being and commitment to employees in his headquarters in Agawam, MA.
The new 1,300 square meter. Ft. Structure comprises two levels and a roof with a dome over the most part. Overall, the structure is 54 feet. For a long time 24 feet wide with one roof over the upper level of 34 feet. The 20-foot length lower level is exposed.
“We are very happy about the new pavilion,” said Shaun Jennings, Senior Marketing Manager. “It not only offers a great room for breaks, informal meetings and employees of the employees, but is also an ideal space for the many employee events that we hold here in Agawam, including cookouts, film evenings, day sales and open houses.”
The pavilion was designed by the Fadenmaster department of OMG, whereby many of the company's deck products were built by company employees as a training project. From the beginning, the OMG deck was designed so that they are minimally annoying in the area. Instead of digging out the area and installing large tubes for traditional concrete foundations, the pavilion is supported by a number of helical piles. Helical piles or screw piles are round steel waves about 10 feet. Long with a helical camp blade that is screwed into the ground to support and dispel the weight of the structure.
As soon as the 34 helical piles were installed, Triple 2×10 rays over the Helical Stack were 10 feet away from each other to support a hybrid bar system that was constructed in such a way that it combined the strength and durability of steel with the ease and processibility of wood. In addition, the hybrid bars offer a consistently occurring deck surface without crowns or low spots that occur with conventional 2 -fold wood.
“One of the best parts of this project was that it served as a corporate training project for our employees,” said Jennings. “It was not only a practical design experience for the design and product management team, but we were also able to present many of our new products and festival technologies to the manufacturing team so that they understand how and where in the real world.”
The deck, which is finished with Composite Azek/Timbertech -Decking, includes a handicap ramp and three stairs. The docking was installed with the stainless steel claw closure from Fadenmaster to get a clean, stain-free look. Additionally a 10-foot. The diameter company logo was installed in the middle of the upper deck using contrasting materials, some of which had to be heated to over 200 ° F and had to be handled on site to create the company's round logo. The materials for the logo were installed with the hidden cortex closure system from folding master, in which plugs consist of the composite material are inserted via the fastening head in order to hide the fastening elements and provide a clean finish.
In addition, several other Fastenmaster products were used to build the deck, including the new cover frame coating, which was applied to the substructure to create a protective moisture barrier, deter the putrefaction and decay in beams, rays, stair beaches and posts. Fadenmaster thruloks were also used to connect the 4×4 deck country post with the 2x bars, and the popular timberloks, headloks and flatloks were used to build the frame and roof support structure of the deck.
“During the construction process, many employees had the construction site visited to see how and where our products are used on the market,” said Jennings. “This gave them a much better understanding of the meaning of what they do, especially if you consider how many different structural fastening elements we manufacture, and the critical performance requirements for these fastening elements. It is a great educational vehicle for our entire staff.”
