When constructing the massive battery plant in Windsor, Ontario, the team faced the formidable challenge of battling the harsh Canada winter. To keep the project on schedule and ensure smooth operations, they turned to TuffWrap EXT for Canada winter construction, a solution that provided the necessary protection against the extreme weather conditions.
The Challenge
Constructing such a large facility in Canada’s frigid winter posed difficulties. With temperatures often plunging to zero degrees, pouring concrete and constructing clean rooms became arduous tasks. These clean rooms, covering 1.2 million square feet, required enclosure on three sides to shield them from the biting wind and cold.
