Parcel-D-2-1200x900

Texas Medical Center – Houston, TX

• What makes this AGS trellis so unique?...It’s a combination of features you wouldn't normally find on a standard outdoor system. This structure has spans reaching 11' wide, combined with large projections and 10' cantilevers. Additionally, extra-large arched profiles required mitered edges to create this radiused finished and installed product. An overall carefully engineered support system was required to create quite a remarkable outdoor space for visitors and staff. We're so pleased with the team effort on this one!

175-Temple-01

175 SW Temple - Salt Lake City, UT

• The guys in the shop really did a “FIN-tastic” job on these perforated vertical panels, for the 175 SW Temple project. Fins range from 20’-25’ tall, and are mounted to AGS custom 2-1/2” aluminum square tube welded frames. All assemblies were fabricated “in house” for ease of installation and cost savings on the jobsite. Check out the forklift photo to get a sense of how big these suckers really are! Thanks to our customers at Steel Encounters, Inc. for a great collaborative opportunity at this downtown SLC parking facility.

Mercedes Benz edit

Mercedes Benz – House of Imports

• Screening views while keeping an image of style and sophistication at Mercedes Benz - House of Imports inventory facility. Located in Buena Park, CA., this AGS project consists of 12” vertical aluminum airfoils installed at varying angles creating a screen/wave effect that is effective from any vantage point. But there’s more to it than just airfoils and automobiles … AGS worked hand in hand with the architect, back in the conceptual stage. We assisted with design and budget every step of the way. Our team was also able to address job site challenges on the fly by accommodating unexpected changes in field conditions.

400-N-Aberdeen_IMG_4900

400 N. Aberdeen - Chicago, IL

• 400 N. Aberdeen on Chicago’s west side features 16 floors of office and lab space with 2 floors dedicated to parking. AGS gladly provided the four color and various sized aluminum tubes - framing the entire parking deck façade. With a multitude of shapes & sizes to manage and assemble, the fabrication required a distinct tagging method for easy install to the framing system.

Will County_4

Will County Courthouse - Joliet, IL

• Oversized fins on the new Will County Courthouse required large extrusions not readily available in the U.S. Despite this, the contractor felt strongly about simplifying the job and keeping everything American made… and that’s where AGS came into play.

Buell Theater 1

Buell Theater Facade - Denver, CO

• The bone white finish on these 2'X12" vertical tubes serves as a perfect backdrop for this vibrant lighting display. The facade already looks sharp during the day, but in the evening, a myriad of color is featured for a show-stopping, energizing effect.

Advocate-2363

Advocate Aurora Healthcare Parking Facility - Chicago, IL

• The vertical fins segment of the project featured a “wave” effect which each piece varied in 5° increments.

• Every angle, every size, and every quantity of our specially made airfoils had to be plotted out in as clear a fashion as possible.
