Environmentally Driven Construction for High-Volume Recycling Facilities
Project Profile: Douglasville Recycling Center | Douglasville, GA
Caliber 1 Construction recently completed the Douglasville Recycling Center in Douglasville, Georgia. Operating as lead contractor, we managed this ground-up municipal facility construction. We built an 18,320-square-foot pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) to provide a durable, functional space for local waste management operations.
Site Preparation and Structural Framework
A strong industrial building requires exact planning and reliable ground work. We managed full-site development on a 55.75-acre property, focusing our work on a precise 1.86-acre area.
- Executed comprehensive site preparation to clear and stabilize the work zone.
- Managed extensive grading and road construction to ensure safe truck access.
- Poured heavy-duty building foundations to support the metal structure.
- Erected reliable structural systems to form the core of the building.
- Completed the full exterior envelope assembly to protect the facility from the elements.
Comprehensive Interior Buildout
Industrial facilities need robust utility systems to support heavy daily use. We oversaw a complete interior buildout to deliver a safe, code-compliant facility.
- Installed reliable plumbing to better serve staff and operational needs.
- Routed secure electrical systems for heavy equipment and standard building power.
- Completed a full HVAC installation to maintain proper air circulation and climate control.
- Finished all interior painting to provide clean, professional workspaces.
- Coordinated multiple trades seamlessly to keep the project on schedule.
