HWC Logistics

Project Overview

The HWC Logistics project in College Park, Ga required a large post-supported canopy system to cover an outdoor employee break area. The project involved designing and install a canopy system with minimal columns to allow for picnic tables and chairs to be placed beneath the system protecting the employees from weather, also while maintaining a color scheme to match the dock canopies installed on the building.

Location: 2929 Roosevelt Highway, College Park, GA 30349
Completion Date: May 2020
Project Duration: 1.5 weeks
Total Coverage Area: 810 square feet

Technical Specifications

  • Framework: (4) 6”x6” columns, (4) 10” I-Beam, and 3” x 3” purlins
  • Canopy System: .050 roll-formed gutter, .032 “W” panels, and custom fascia to match color scheme
  • Projection: 26’-0” off of building wall
  • Height: 12’-0” clear height at it’s lowest point
  • Finish: PVDF Kynar 500 - Granite, and a custom powder-coat to match Granite
  • Drainage: Integrated gutter system with downspouts at columns
  • Wind Rating: Engineered to meet 115 mph wind loads

Project Challenges & Solutions

Challenge: Create a large span beneath canopy to allow for picnic tables and chairs while staying structurally sound and keeping to a budget.

Solution: Using structural I-beam to create the span, and using pre-finished roll-formed canopy panels in lieu of extruded canopy panels to keep the material and powder-coating costs down.

Challenge: Include additional canopy coverage over a man door without the ability to include an additional column.

Solution: Install an overhead support system that attaches to the building wall supporting the additional canopy coverage.
