Chemfab Industries

Dixin Construction Limited has been working with Chemfab Industries for over 10 years. Located in Corunna on Polymoore Drive, Dixin has constructed 4 expansions to their facility. Each time Dixin completed this work as design / build contracts.

American Buildings Company pre-engineered building was used to complete the largest expansion; a 10,000 square foot building that included a crane runway. Conventional load bearing block design was used to expand their latest front office expansion completed in 2004. Renovations to the original building were also completed to tie in the original building to the additions, therefore giving the entire building one uniform appearance.

Sterling Crane

This design / build project completed in 2005 consisted of pre-engineered and conventional construction. American Buildings Company pre-engineered design was used to construct the 20,000 square foot washbay maintenance shop area. Load bearing masonry walls and structural joists were used to construct the office area.

A construction cost of 2.4 million to build, this building incorporated all of the components Sterling Crane required. Below grade access trenches were constructed to allow staff under the cranes for maintenance. A washbay was built to accommodate Sterling Cranes equipment. David Gilchrist Architect added architectural detail in the office utilizing wood grain features in doors and wainscoting.

Overall a building that stands out for what Dixin Construction Limited does, build to meet its clients requirements in a safe and quality manner.

Lockwood International

This project consisted of a design / build tender working in coordination with TW Gray and Associates. The tender design incorporated pre-engineered construction of a 25,000 square foot warehouse area and a 3,000 square foot conventional wood design for the office. American Buildings Company pre-engineered building was used for the warehouse and the roofing system for the office area.

American's Standing Seam II roof panels were utilized for this project since the owner requested a roof that would be more efficient to eliminate roof leaks. American's Standing Seam II panel gives that by removing over 80% of fasteners required for a metal roof installation.

Exterior brick masonry was used for the exterior of building. Having our own masons on staff gives us the opportunity to provide our client a job well done and meeting budget.
