Concrete Foundations – Catamount Arts Accessible Entrance

As the new home to Catamount Arts, this historic landmark has recently undergone a total renovation and transformation. Fairbanks Mill worked with the project manager and architect to design and construct a new accessible entry. In fitting this entry into the very tight site, consideration had to be given to code compliance, historic preservation issues, site drainage, and schedule.

Sitework – Fairbanks Museum Site Improvements

Site drainage improvements were implemented at this landmark institution. A perimeter membrane was installed to deflect roof runoff away from the building foundation. Drainage swales were incorporated into a general site regrading to channel surface water away from the building toward strategically placed infiltration chambers. Incorporated into the project was a clean-up and overall reconfiguration of the Museum’s “back yard,” which included new pedestrian paths, planting beds, and much improved site furniture.

Building Construction – St. Johnsbury Academy Fieldhouse

Upon completion of the foundation and site-cast concrete, Fairbanks Mill was asked to assist with other phases of the construction for this multi-use facility, including temporary roof shoring (multiple 90’+ towers), roof support trusses, and roof panels. Other subsequent work included interior slabs, interior doors, and connector construction.
