Florida Project Spotlight
Retail Metal Building on Islamorada
This Spotlight features a retail metal building in The Florida Keys for the folks at Ocean Gardens. The project featured custom shaped windows on the gable ends to allow for as much light as possible inside the store and custom below eave canopies on the street facing sides.
Comfort and cooling costs dictated the use of high-r banding insulation in the roof which was left exposed for effect. Exposed HVAC ducting and custom nautical themed lighting add to the appeal of the interior. Custom finishes and quality interior buildout helped to make this project a stunning success.
Florida Project Spotlight
Commercial Steel Building Erecting
This Spotlight features a time-lapse video of the erecting of the Coppertail Brewery in Tampa. The 67′ x 179′ building with an eave height of 31′ easily provided space for brewing equipment, while meeting the wind load requirements of the Florida Building Code.
Partial walls for masonry and a trolley beam for a 4 ton crane add to the complexity of this project. High-r banding insulation help to minimize building cooling costs while providing a comfortable environment. Be sure to check out the building when you visit the Coppertail Brewery and enjoy some of the mastery of their craft!
The History of Okeechobee
Named from a combination of the Hitchiti Indian words “oki” (water) and “chobi” (big), Okeechobee (or Okeechobee City as some locals refer to it) is located just north of the lake that shares its name.
The area around the lake saw some of the most devastating effects from the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, which was the first recorded Category 5 hurricane in the North Atlantic and one of the most deadliest hurricanes ever to hit the U.S with some 2,500 souls lost.
Okeechobee was the site of the Battle of Lake Okeechobee during the Second Seminole War, as local Seminole warriors were fighting from forced relocation to the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Colonel Zachary Taylor would claim victory in the battle and later go on to become the 12th President of the United States.
In the early 20th century, Okeechobee became the seat of government in Okeechobee County and gained a reputation for being a central shipping point for railroad cars full of everything from winter vegetables to cattle, poultry and fish. Today, the population of about 6,000 residents call Okeechobee home and tourism plays in important role in the city as visitors flock to the area to enjoy fishing in the lake that shares the cities name.
