Southwire Copperfield Plant
This project involved the design and installation of a large-scale canopy system for Southwire, a leading manufacturer of industrial wire and cable. The canopy was designed to provide weather protection for key operational areas, improve workflow efficiency, and reflect Southwire's commitment to functionality and innovation.
Project Overview
The Challenge
The Southwire Copperfield facility required major roofing upgrades while maintaining uninterrupted factory operations under strict safety parameters:
Work Continuity
Our partners at Southwire needed manufacturing work to continue inside without interruption during the construction process.
High Safety Standards
Southwire is known for a high standard of excellence, requiring comprehensive job-site safety certifications and stringent protocols.
Harsh Weather
Cold winter weather with persistent wind and snowfall prevailed during the installation period.
Our Approach
Tru-Kote designed and executed a specialized non-disruptive commercial roofing solution:
- Innovative Overlay System Utilized our foam flute filler and membrane system to cover over the leaky roof section, eliminating the need for a costly, disruptive tear-off.
- Full Safety Compliance Passed all Southwire safety requirements and personnel training, fully certifying the crew from project start to finish.
- Winter Crew Preparedness Arrived equipped with cold-weather protection and disciplined scheduling to keep progress moving safely and steadily.
The Result
The canopy system and flute-filler membrane overlay were delivered safely on schedule. Leaks were eliminated across the active production area without interrupting indoor facility operations.
