Building Over a Building Case Study

Weather delays can wreak havoc on project timelines and seriously affect the bottom line.  When construction projects fall behind schedule, meeting deadlines and achieving performance bonuses become a necessity.  Traube Tents & Structures specializes in developing creative, cost-effective and timely solutions to meet the needs of our diverse client base.    

Traube Tents & Structure was approached by a construction contractor whose project had fallen behind due to the harsh Midwest winter weather.  The contractor was constructing a 14,000-square-foot building with drive-through lanes.  Following an initial site survey, Traube Tents & Structures recommended covering the entire job site with a 40Mx40M (132’x132’) engineered structure with a 5.4M (17’) leg height.  The temporary structure would provide ample room for heavy equipment to operator within the enclosures footprint and allow for material delivers to be sheltered.  Traube Tents & structures was also tasked with completing the above installation without shutting down the active jobsite.

The jobsite enclosure was a success.  The contractor was able to finish construction of the building and concrete pours, ahead of schedule, despite the weather.  Traube Tents & Structures received glowing reviews from the contractor and the end user.  Mid America Contracting CFO, Jim Daech, remarked “They did a great job for us with this tent throughout the project!”  The installation was so successful that the contractor commented that next time Traube Tents & Structures would be included in the initial bid. 

Traube Tents & Structures CEO, Steve Traube, commented “Tackling unique projects, exceeding client’s expectations and delivering cost effective solutions is in our DNA at Traube.  Through Traube’s Construction & Industrial division we provide stock and custom installation deliverables anywhere in North America.”
