It's that time of year when the weather is taking a permanent turn towards the cold. In full disclosure, as I am typing this, we're having a 70 degree day in the middle of November. We call days like today "bonus days" as they are an extra chance to sneak in one more round of golf before it gets too cold. Without fail though, every year it is going to get cold and windy.
We've worked on some pretty interesting projects for customers in preparation for the cold weather to arrive. In the end, each of the projects I am going to discuss have one goal: block as much of the winter weather as possible.
One common Winter project we work on year in and year out is to help local bars and restaurants enclose patios. Enclosures can be custom fabrications or we can use tents to cover patios. This year, we fabricated 14' tall, clear wall panels for Milestone 229 on the Scioto Mile in downtown Columbus. The clear wall enable the restaurant to offer more capacity to service diners in an environment closed off from the harsh winter elements. For customers who have open patio space, like Coaches off of Bethel Road, a tent or clear span structure may be the answer.
Another industry bracing for Winter is the construction industry. We recently fabricated several 2,000 sq. ft. panels that will temporarily close the sides of buildings as work is completed. Our covers will serve as a wind break on the higher floors of the new building, allowing for electrical, HVAC, and plumbing to be installed without the harassment of brisk winds. Outside of enclosure covers, some construction companies are going the route of putting clear span structures over their entire job site to fully protect their workers from wind, snow, and cold (as our structures can be heated).
Another use for our products is newer to us this year. The new application is temporary storage facilities. Whether its a shipping company needing more space to work out of over the Holiday season, or a large scale manufacturer protecting finished goods, our clear span structures have been employed with much more frequency this fall into the Winter.
