Summary: |
Dragon Industries, a major manufacturer of energy products,
needed to lift the roof of an existing facility in order to
manufacture wind turbine towers. The required clearance under
the steel trusses needed to be 40 feet. The existing height
of the russes was 24 feet. The lift included the change of
existing columns for a 140' x 160' clear span section. The
lift made the use of the existing building more advantageous
to new manufacturing needs.
