SMM Scrap Metal Recycling
21,975 sq ft Material Separation and Storage
State regulations required a three-sided structure, but it was built fully enclosed with sidewall doors, allowing for future compliance if needs change.
The Rundown
To stay in line with air quality regulations in their area, a recycling company needed to enclose their current concrete containment bins. They partnered with Legacy to design, manufacture and install a structure that is able to house both storage and processing areas and is equipped with a building-supported conveyor and chemical fire suppression system.
