Energy-Efficient Steel Shop in Chesterfield, Virginia

Metal Building Outlet supplied this pre-engineered metal shop building on behalf of a customer in Chesterfield, Virginia, in April of 2019.

Insulated, multifunctional and easy to maintain, the building stands 34’x64’x20’ in size once raised, and it now undergoes use as a workshop. Constructed using rugged, premium-grade steel parts, the workshop offers unrivaled structural integrity, and a hardwearing Galvalume roof with a 2:12 pitch sits overhead, protecting the building against corrosion.

Additional accommodations include (3) framed openings; (1) 3070 opening equipped with (1) 3070 walk door and (2) 8’x8’ openings, each enclosing one of (2) 8’x8’ doors, and several inclusions that enhance durability given the climate characteristics of the area. Such features include a 20-pound snow load and a 115-mph wind load.

An insulation package comprised of R-19 fiberglass roof insulation and R-13 wall insulation serves as another notable customization, and it makes the shop more suitable for year-round use while lowering energy expenses associated with the building. Part of Chesterfield County, in eastern Virginia, Chesterfield sits about 95 miles northeast of Norfolk and roughly 17 miles south of Richmond.
