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.

Performed Management Services

Throughout the duration of this project, Caliber 1 self-performed key project phases to maintain our high standards for quality and safety. Our team directly managed pre-construction planning, site logistics, and comprehensive safety protocols. We also handled all close-out and warranty services to ensure a smooth handover to the municipality.
