Bill Hansing runs a welding and fabrication plant in the rugged wilderness of Alberta, Canada.  Being located up high in the Canadian Rockies brings sometimes its share of problems.  One of them is knowing where to find a pre-engineered building to help expand a business.

Luckily, Hansing heard about Allied Steel in the United States.

“I read their flier regarding steel buildings and we needed one at that time,” says Hansing.  “We’ve purchased buildings before in both Canada and the United States.  Both has its advantages and disadvantages.  With Allied Steel, we were told that we could get a 60’ X 140’ building at the price we wanted and we did.”

Hansing needed a standard building that was larger than what he was previously for product storing.  He found Allied Steel very good, despite some delays caused by getting the structure across the border.

“Everything was great,” says Hansing.  “It was a little late due in part to crossing into our parts.  Once we had the building, it was fine.  There were some minor stuff missing such as bolts, but Allied was able to get that over to us in no time.”

Hansing admits that their edifice from Allied Steel was very simple to put up.

“The blueprints were easy to follow,” adds Hansing.  “We’re just finishing up with the electric, and we’ve moved our products that were outside under our new roof.” 

With the building intact, Hansing says that his plant should be able to increase productivity in spite of the conditions of Mother Nature.

“We’re very pleased.  The building has sustained very well, considering how bad the winters are up here.  I would recommend Allied Steel to anyone I know if they’re in need of a pre-engineered building.”
