This new facility constructed in 2014 services road maintenance vehicles near Seward, Alaska. The structure is an 8,400 sf pre-manufactured metal building that includes three maintenance bays, accessory office, training rooms, and attached boiler and generator spaces. The shop area includes a pull down and movable exhaust system for vehicles and welding, an overhead crane, and a large vehicle lift. The exterior skin of the building consists of low maintenance insulated metal wall and roof panels over steel building frames. The project also includes the development of the surrounding parcel to include a sand storage pad, drainage pond, and a parking area for the building users. The design for the project is based on a prototype design developed by PDC for a similar facility in Aniak, Alaska.
The plumbing system consists of well water for the plumbing fixtures and a septic system for the waste water. A trench drain is provided in the equipment warm storage area which is routed to an above-slab oil/water separator, and then routes to a below-grade holding tank outside of the building. An air compressor is provided for shop air.
