As demand for the Saturn automobiles increased, so did
the size of the plant. The AA Press Addition is a 102,000 square foot
expansion of the existing Body Panels area. The press contained in this
building is the largest of its kind in North America and produces body
parts which are stamped from large coils of aluminum. The clear height
for the building is 80 feet. The vast majority of our work on this fast
track project was completed in an amazing 9 months. The most daunting
task was the rapid construction of the foundations and pit for the
stamping press. In excess of 4,200 cubic yards of concrete was placed by
Doster craft workers in constructing the 77' wide x 25' deep press
foundation. Doster self performed the pouring and placing of over 10,000
yards of concrete in all. It was certainly one of the most challenging
projects we have ever built. |
