Concrete buildings provide security and flexibility

Metropolitan Industries now offers the option of housing all components inside a prefabricated concrete structure that adds beauty, security and flexibility to any location.
   Metropolitan’s new pre-cast buildings are heavy-duty and available in a variety of shapes and finishes that are delivered to the jobsite ready to install. Finishes include a simulated brick exterior, exposed aggregate or a plain surface that allows the application of any third party finish such as a stucco, vinyl siding, etc,.
   Buildings work well with control and pump applications where strict environmental control, security and protection of vital components are necessary and of high-importance. End-users can house S.C.A.D.A. components, controls, flow meters, valve configurations and pump systems for example. All buildings are U.L. listed for commercial and industrial buildings according to electric code.
   A concrete housed control and pump station installation recently sold to the Village of Bedford Park, Il. a southwest suburb of Chicago is a good example of the flexibility incorporated with the buildings. Metropolitan supplied the building with all control equipment, a prefabricated lift station, a standby generator and two 25HP pumps as a complete package ready for installation. The project consisted of abandoning the existing Dry Pit / Wet Pit pump station and replacing it with a submersible pump station. The submersible station allowed the Village to eliminate a confined workspace, as there should be no need for personnel to enter the sanitary wet well. 
  This key to this job was matching the building exterior to the finish of the new nearby fire station with regard to a special brick pattern and color including a parapet roof. The building was completely wired internally requiring the installing contractor to simply bring power to the building and pull the pump, float, transducer and anode wires to the building. The building includes HVAC that keeps the building’s temperature controlled and the electrical components clean and secure. The 100 kW natural gas generator has a sound attenuated enclosure and provides back-up power to this station when power fails.
   The incorporation of concrete building gives end-users another option during the planning process. For more information regarding building possibilities, contact Bob Wedell, Municipal Sales Manager, at 815-886-9200, ext 262.
