McNichols Project Gallery — Completed Construction Case Studies

Delivery Roadmap From Spec to Occupancy

Interactive timeline of how McNichols supports reliable project handoffs—structure reused from roadmap layouts, content fully project-focused.

Load Case & Span Lock

Structural engineers share live-load cases and spans; we return bearing-bar options with ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531 references before drawings freeze.

Cut Package Coordination

Fabrication cells notch panels and band stair treads to zone labels so installers stage by mezzanine bay, not by random mill lengths.

Dock & Install Window

Same-day or next-day stock ship aligns with crane picks; mill test reports travel with the packing list for QA sign-off.

Turnover & Reorder Map

Owners receive spare tread and panel SKUs mapped to as-builts so future turnarounds reorder without reopening the entire submittal.

Products Proven on These Jobsites

Steel Bar Grating Decks

Welded and press-locked panels carrying documented load bearing capacity for process mezzanines and forklift approach zones.

100+ psfCommon live-load cases

FRP Clarifier Covers

Fiberglass plank systems selected where water absorption and splash chemistry shortened carbon-steel service life expectancy.

5–7 yrsSteel recoating avoided

Perforated Facade Screens

Hole patterns balancing open-area shading with wind load rating and dimensional stability on curtain-wall modules.

40%+Open area options stocked

Partners on Recent Installations

Gulf Coast Utilities — Clarifier Walkways

12,400 sq ft of FRP plank grating replaced corroded steel covers across two clarifier trains. Installation finished in a 9-day outage window with labeled bundles sequenced by bay. Plant engineering kept mill-equivalent resin data sheets for the next expansion phase.

Harborline Architects — Perforated Parking Screen

28,000 sq ft of perforated aluminum panels shipped with open-area percentages the facade consultant used in wind models. Domestic mill stock avoided an 11-week import delay that threatened the certificate of occupancy date.

Mid-South Process Plants — Mezzanine Retrofit

3,800 sq ft of galvanized bar grating and 64 banded stair treads landed with ASTM A1011 mill certs. Bearing-bar tables matched the IBC case on the first submittal—no RFI cycle for load bearing capacity.

Coastal Terminal Operators — Stair Towers

Aluminum grating stair towers reduced corrosion maintenance versus painted carbon steel in salt air. Slip resistance grit tops and impact resistance notes were attached for the owner’s safety committee review.
