Vehicle maintenance
and storage facilities appear to involve very few
engineered systems because of the vast amount empty
of space in the buildings. In reality, it is quite
the opposite.
These
buildings have Carbon Monoxide sensing and evacuation
systems, back up electrical systems, air and fluid
supply systems, and more. Buildings constructed in
rural areas have septic systems and well systems that
require storage tanks.
We
have designed so many of these types of facilities
that there are very few unique system scenarios that
we have not seen.

Coon
Rapids Public Works Vehicle Maintenance
Many
of the municipal, county, and state vehicle buildings we
design have maintenance areas in them. These areas become
quite complex to design with the specialty equipment
needed to work on the large maintenance vehicles. Our
attention to design details and willingness to research
needed equipment information will make the transition
into the new space quite simple.
Carlton
County Maintenance Building
This
facility is set in the beautiful Minnesota forests near
the St. Louis River. The building is a model of energy efficiency
with its geosource heating and cooling system. It also is
an example of engineering excellence because of its recycled
oil burning boiler, on site water supply systems, and its
lighting control systems.
Coon
Rapids Public Works Building
The
city of Coon Rapids has invited Cain Ouse Associates
to design the engineering systems for three phases of
remodel and expansion at their facility. They have moved
from the small rural oriented facilities built in the
1950’s
to the facility needed to support a major suburban city.
We are privileged to have help them make the transition.
