Jacobs Manufacturing buildings are corrosion resistant, light weight, easy to install, and maintenance free. They provide all weather protection from cold, heat, snow, rain, winds, salt spray and dust. Our buildings house pumps, electrical gear, chlorination equipment, field mounted instrumentation, generation equipment, transmission communication, and pollution monitoring equipment; as well as other personnel uses.
Jacobs Manufacturing buildings range in size from 2’ to 40’ in width and/or length and 4’ to 16’ in height. Buildings can be shipped in one or more pieces, depending on the size. We can design a floor plan to meet your specifications. Buildings come with single and/or double doors. Buildings can also be supplied with partitions for multi-room requirements.
Building Features
Molded in one piece construction.
Rigid Composit / Sandwich Construction.
Buildings have a 4" wide internal mounting flange around the inside perimeter.
Buildings exterior have a Tan Or White Gelcoat Finish with U.V. Inhibitors (other Colors available upon request).
Engineered Protection: 125 mph wind and 35 lb/ft snow loading. We can accomodate higher wind and snow loads.
Buildings are ideal for use in areas of corrosive chemicals and high humidity. The exterior surface comes standard with white or tan gel-coat; however, other colors are available if desired. Our gel-coats are designed to maintain their luster and resist weathering. The building
is designed for low maintenance. It is recommended that the building be washed occasionally using water and a mild soap solution inside and out to prolong the luster of the finish. wall and roof dimensions may vary (+) or (-) 1/4" and the wall thickness may vary (+) 1/8" inch (-) 1/16" inch.
Construction
Buildings and doors are constructed of fiberglass reinforced polyester resin, molded by hand lamination process. The 3/32" exterior laminate is chemically bonded to the gel coat. Rigid polyisocyanurate foam is then laminated to the exterior laminate. Ribs on 16" centers are incorporated at this time. The laminate is then finished with an 1/8" fiberglass interior laminate.
Gel-Coat and Surface Coat
All gel coats and surface coating are a chemical resistant neopentyl glycol based polyester resin Gel-Coat and Surface Coat resin. Pigments are selected for their long term weatherability in corrosive applications.
Fiberglass Reinforcement:
Fiberglass reinforcement of the outer laminate shall consist of three plies of 1-½ ounce per foot chopped strand mat. The inner laminate shall consist of two plies of 1-½ ounce per foot chopped mat.
Lamination Resin:
The laminating resin is a rigid orthophthalic polyester, suitable for use in corrosive conditions.
Insulation
Modified polyisocyanurate rigid foam, one inch thick, shall be used throughout as insulation. Our Insulation has a K-factor of .14 BTU in/hr/ft/F degree, R-6.06 per inch rating. The insulation is completely encapsulated in FRP.
