The 46,000-square-foot SeaDruNar paper recycling facility was set on auger-cast piles and built with concrete tilt-up panels. The project included installing four truck scales, tenant improvements for office space and renovating an on-site warehouse into an equipment shop and employee lunchroom. The building features a long-span, steel truss roof structure. Prior to SeaDruNar’s plant, the site was home to a concrete recycling facility that sold crushed concrete as construction fill. Months before construction started, the firm filed for bankruptcy, leaving used concrete on the site. Compounding that problem was the Kingdome’s recent demolition, creating a surplus of concrete fill. The concrete fill problem was solved by using old concrete in the new plant and as a sub-base for the site’s concrete paving. Finalists in the category included the Harbor Pacific Bottling Co. facility in Grays Harbor County and the Home Depot regional distribution center in Lacey. |
