A 5,000 kg overhead rail crane serves the main garage and storage mezzanine: while a 1,000 kg column mounted jib crane serves the welding bays.

The pre-engineered building shell, with RSI 3.5 (R20) insulation provides a suitable blend of durability and efficiency. HVAC systems include an air handler with hydronic heating coil and an HRV to serve the office area, gas fired unit heaters in the garage bays and a gas fired air handler for the make-up air system with gas fired condensing boilers, a gas fired air handler and an HRV.
