Shelters vs. Cabinets

Current Project

Helping Our Customers Meet Build-Out Challenges
During the fall of 2007, one of Fibrebond’s largest customers needed 125 equipment shelters to expand coverage in four different market areas. The contract was coordinated through the national corporate office, with input from all of the affected regions. Each of the 11’6” x 20’ shelters was engineered to customer specifications using eight standard building designs and 20 non-standard designs, all with two-hour fire ratings. By maximizing its manufacturing efficiencies, Fibrebond was able to manufacture the 125 shelters in less than 90 days, in addition to 63 shelters that were previously constructed and awaiting site assignments, for a total of 186 shelters shipped. Fibrebond met the challenges of time, engineering and multi-state code compliance and delivered the project on time.
