While this system does not offer the uniform sound barrier that the A-wall system offers and has more pieces required to install, it did offer them some advantages.\u00a0 Due to the overall design of this project, it was less expensive for the customer. If something were to happen to one of the panels that would require it to be replaced, they would not need to disassemble as much to replace it as the progressive system allows them to remove an individual panel without needing to start at the corner.\u00a0 The customer also has several other control rooms in their facility of this same design.\u00a0 They\u2019re very pleased with them and wanted to maintain compatibility through their plant.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_290\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-Inside2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-290\" class=\"wp-image-290 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-Inside2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Exposed recessed beam in ceiling plenum of modular building control room\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-Inside2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-Inside2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-Inside2-624x468.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-Inside2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With the control room ready for electrical installation, you can clearly see the beam used in the ceiling plenum to provide the customer with a 25 PSF \u201cwalking load\u201d for the roof deck.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Using a steel beam in the ceiling plenum, and some heavier gage reinforced wiring chases underneath, we were able to also provide the customer with a 25 PSF \u201cwalking load\u201d capacity for their roof deck.\u00a0 For one more special little touch, we were able to provide the customer with some cabinets that would fit above their windows to store their notebooks and such.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_288\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-288\" class=\"wp-image-288 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"bright yellow steel mill control booth\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-2-624x468.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/TIMKEN-IPO-ODD-SHAPED-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-288\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The bright safety yellow control room really stands out.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Their existing control room was torn down on Saturday, and the new modular building was put up on Sunday, ready for their electricians to wire in the control panels.\u00a0 The customer was really pleased with how quickly the transition went.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently received some photos back of a modular building we provided a customer that I thought would be nice to share with you.\u00a0 The customer has a steel plant here in Ohio, and was looking to replace and expand upon an existing steel constructed control room pulpit on their mill floor.
