Ecoplastics

Project Overview

SECO Ecoplastics Manufacturing Facility in Statesboro, GA required a custom aluminum composite solution for their drive under Entry Canopy. The project involved designing and installing a 3,230 square-foot soffit system with an incorporated oculus eye.

Location: 4800 Highway 301 South Statesboro, GA 30452
Completion Date: January 2025
Project Duration: 2 weeks
Total Coverage Agrea: 3,230 square feet
General Contractor: Cooper Construction
PCG Project Manager: Casey Wise

Technical Specifications

  • Primary System: Aluminum Composite Panels
  • Support Structure: extruded aluminum clips and extrusions
  • Finish: PVDF 2-Coat in a Bunny Grey II Color

Project Challenges & Solutions

Challenge:

Creating a smooth radius fascia for the Oculus Eye. Custom fabrication and field modification were required to complete this installation.

Solution:

The installation required precise custom fabrication and on-site field modifications to achieve the smooth, continuous curvature of the fascia surrounding the Oculus Eye. Due to the complex geometry and tight tolerances of the design, off-the-shelf solutions were not viable. Fabrication involved CNC-bent framing elements and custom-formed fascia panels, which were further adjusted on-site to match field conditions and align seamlessly with the existing structural components.

Outcome:
The result is a visually flawless radius fascia that maintains the integrity of the architectural intent while accommodating real-world installation variables.

Challenge:
Active warehouse sites often have limited space for storing ACM panels and equipment without disrupting operations or aesthetics.

Mitigation Strategies:

  • Just-in-time (JIT) delivery strategy
  • Use off-site storage when feasible
  • Pre-plan material drop-off and staging areas with the project manager and bank staff

Challenge:

A disorganized or messy construction site can negatively affect customer perception and the company’s brand.

Mitigation Strategies:

  • Daily site cleanup and organization
  • Use branded temporary fencing or tarps
  • Keep signage professional and visible to explain the improvements being made

Installation Process

  1. Site survey and structural verification
  2. Custom fabrication of all components
  3. Installation of primary support structure
  4. Final trim and detail work

Performance Results

  • Material Durability and Longevity
  • Weather and Corrosion Resistance
  • Thermal Insulation and Energy Efficiency
  • Acoustic Performance
  • Fire Resistance ASTM E84 Class A
  • Aesthetic Performance
  • Low Maintenance
  • Modular Repairability

Local Impact

  • Aesthetic Appeal
  • Brand Visibility
  • Improved Customer Experience
  • Increase in Local Business Traffic
  • Potential for Future Development

Safety Statistics

  • Zero incidents during installation
  • 100% OSHA compliance
  • Daily safety meetings conducted
  • Full PPE compliance throughout project

Conclusion

Aluminum Composite Material proved to be an excellent investment for the SECO Ecoplastics warehouse, offering durability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance. While the initial costs and lead times were higher, long-term savings and performance gains outweighed those disadvantages.
