A design/build rock storage facility utilized for the storage of gypsum rock brought in by ship from quarries in Nova Scotia to the Jacksonville facility where gypsum drywall is produced. This is one of the tallest pre-engineered metal structures in the southeast at over 100 feet tall. The foundation involved the installation of over 200 precast concrete piles driven 50 feet deep. The 12/10 pitch of the roof made installation of the metal roof panels very difficult with high winds coming in off the St. John's river. No lost time accidents occurred on the project, with over 50,000 man-hours on the project.
