The project presented a unique challenge in that the building footprint could not be expanded within the overall site.   JRMA . In order to provide the client with the best expansion solution and minimize the impact on the current operations during construction, JRMA designed a 75 ft. steel tower to within the existing metal building structure.   The steel tower has five levels, cranes, and can accommodate multiple plastic extruding lines.  was approximately 70 ft. tall took a vertical approach to overcome these challenges and meet the company’s operational needs.
