Keystruct Expands Facility for National Beverage Corporation
Keystruct is providing general construction services and working with H&S Industrial on the first of three planned renovation projects.
Keystruct is working for a national beverage manufacturer to upgrade their local roasting processing operations. The first of a multi-part project, we are providing the general construction services to renovate a portion of an existing plant to accommodate updated equipment that will streamline the processing for this major manufacturer. Because this facility produces beverages for human consumption, there are stringent requirements for the construction site that will maintain the highest hygienic standards inside the remainder of the building.
Keystruct is removing a 58-ft section of wall, including four docks, and a 58-ft x 122-ft section of the roof, to create space for the construction of a taller building that will accommodate new processing equipment. The entire construction site is completely enclosed inside an impenetrable barrier to keep all dust and debris contained to the immediate job site. This barrier is constructed of a temporary hard wall, to protect the interior of the fully operational facility from exposure to wind and weather.
The work involves removal of a large existing masonry wall and interior floor slab. Excavation in this area prepares it for new building columns and equipment foundations. As the concrete foundations are being poured, under slab sanitary piping is installed. At this point, the existing exterior wall is being removed to allow new foundations to be poured, followed by the new concrete floor slab.

Removal of the portion of the roof over the project site makes way for a new steel super-structure to be erected in the open area. Five steel bar joists will be relocated to carry additional drift load on the existing roof. The new steel structure will extend above the existing 34-ft high existing structure at three different elevations, ranging from 53-feet to 72-feet above the finished floor.
Insulated metal panel walls will enclose this area to separate it from the remainder of the production facility. A new membrane roof with fall protection railings will cover all three roof elevations. H&S Industrial will fabricate various platforms and stairs to be installed in the processing area. They will also install the owner’s new equipment and process piping to complete this project.
The owner has plans for two more projects of this scope over the next few years. Keystruct is working hard to provide the best service to this owner, so we are the contractor of choice on the upcoming projects. We are looking forward to partnering with H&S Industrial and this influential owner on their future expansion and renovation projects.
