Our Role & Project Scope

Western Archrib handled the complete design and supply of the structure above the foundation. We provided early design assistance, ensuring a smooth transition into construction. The facility features a remarkable 164-foot curved glulam beams, span 233 ft and covers just under 7 acres.

While we have completed thousands of projects, our experience includes over 50 large-span storage facilities, giving us a deep understanding of the unique challenges these structures present. This extensive background gave the client confidence in our ability to deliver on time, ensuring they could meet their commitments.

We are committed to creating a project experience where owners and the design team feel supported from the earliest stages of a project through to completion. One comment from the owner’s representative stayed with us throughout this project: “It felt like working with someone you’d already worked with before.” Building that level of trust, responsiveness, and partnership is what we strive for on every project we are part of. Delivering a structure of this size and complexity required a team committed to open communication, early collaboration, and finding the right solutions to meet the owner’s long-term needs. In this case, mass timber provided the ideal solution — offering durability in a corrosive environment while also creating the large, column-free spans the facility required. What we value most is being part of a team that worked together to solve challenges, support the client’s vision, and deliver a structure designed to perform for generations.
