Key Points

This project was the first of four new 19,000 square-foot, retail facilities that Rockford Industrial Welding Supply contracted with Cord Construction. The other locations were in Janesville, Wis., Dubuque, Iowa, and Bloomington, Ill.
Rockford Industrial Welding Supply has also selected Cord to construct:
These projects were constructed from conventional structural framing and by utilizing a combination of structural bearing precast concrete (PCC), architectural PCC with a conventional steel joist and deck roof system.
The Cord project management team worked closely with the various managers at Rockford Industrial Welding to interface the design and construction to meet the client’s end use goals. The remodeling of existing facilities demanded an extensive understanding of their gas blending operation and their material handling operations to effectively marry the additions with their existing operations.
