Alucobond® Louvers Let the Texas Sun Shine in Without Heavy Heat Load
When executives at engineering and construction giant Fluor Corp decided to build a new global corporate headquarters in Irving, Texas, last year, meeting a tight construction deadline was of the utmost importance. Design plans for the 140,000-square-foot, three-story, dual-wing corporate building were begun in mid-June 2005, with ground-breaking in late July. Just eight months later, construction was completed. Similar projects, according to Fluor, usually require a 16-month timeline to complete.
