DATA CENTERS REIMAGINED: HOW METAL BUILDINGS OFFER SCALABLE SOLUTIONS

Arco Steel Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Offer Security and Flexibility to Data Centers

In the digital age, where data is as precious as gold, the infrastructures housing this wealth—data centers—are evolving. Technology company owners constantly pursue innovative solutions to house data securely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Arco Steel Building Systems’ Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMBs) are emerging as the “go to choice” for many data centers, offering scalability that is as robust as the materials they are made from.

Arco Steel Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Offer Data Centers The Features Found Nowhere Else

Customizable Design for Specific Needs

Metal buildings are the chameleons of the construction world, offering a versatility that can cater to the unique requirements of data centers. The modular design allows for easy expansions and customizations – think additional cooling units, backup generators, or extra security measures. With PEMBs, your data center can grow with your company, accommodating new technologies and increased data demands seamlessly.

Enhanced Security with Sturdy Materials

Security is not just about cyber threats; it’s also about physical protection. Metal buildings are inherently durable, standing strong against natural disasters, such as tornadoes or earthquakes, which might cripple conventional structures. Their resistance to fire is another bonus, safeguarding the servers and their valuable data. PEMBs provide a secure fortress for technology companies’ most valuable assets.

Cost-Effective Construction and Maintenance

Budget is a significant consideration for any business decision, and when it comes to constructing data centers, metal buildings offer financial advantages. The pre-engineered nature of these structures translates to faster construction times, reducing labor costs and getting your data center operational quicker. In the long term, they require less maintenance than traditional buildings, which means cost savings are ongoing.

Energy Efficiency for Sustainable Operations

Data centers consume an extraordinary amount of energy. Metal buildings provide superior insulation options that can be tailored to the specific climate of the data center location, resulting in impressive energy efficiency. Cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, these buildings can help significantly reduce the running costs associated with temperature control—which is crucial for maintaining optimal server performance.

Scalability Without Disruption

As your data demands grow, so too does the need for physical space. Metal buildings allow for expansion without the need to construct new facilities. Additions can be made to existing structures without significant downtime, ensuring the data center can continue operating even as it scales up. This is vital in an industry where uptime is critical.

Adherence to Industry Standards

PEMBs can be designed to meet the strict industry standards required for data centers, including those pertaining to load-bearing capacities for heavy equipment and the specific spatial requirements for server racks and cooling systems. Adherence to standards ensures smooth operation and helps avoid costly retrofits or compliance issues down the line.

The Flexibility of Interior Layouts

The clear span construction of metal buildings, free from interior columns, provides the ultimate flexibility in layout design. This open space is invaluable for housing the wide aisles of server racks required in a data center and allows for easy reconfiguration as technology and needs evolve.

Arco Steel, Offering Custom Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings For Data Centers

The answer is clear for technology company owners seeking a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective solution for their data center needs: Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings. Don’t let traditional construction constraints hold your data center back.

Embrace the future with Arco Steel Building Systems. Explore how a metal building can be tailored to fit your unique data center requirements, ensuring your operations are as solid as steel.

RED IRON BUILDINGS: A GREEN, SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

In Honor of Earth Month Arco Steel Offers Insights As To Why Red Iron Buildings Are Becoming the Premier “Green” Choice For Property Owners

The skyline is changing, and red iron is painting it a new shade of sustainability. Once confined mainly to utilitarian structures, red iron buildings have emerged as a premier choice for residential and commercial property expansion. These structures are more than just a fad; they are economical, versatile, and, above all, a green-sustainable option. At Arco Steel, we are a leading provider of red iron buildings, and here are a few reasons why.

THE ECOLOGY OF IRON

Red iron, known formally as structural steel, is becoming the poster child for environmentally conscious building practices, and it’s easy to see why. The very heart of its appeal lies in the material’s recyclability.
Unlike traditional construction, which generates massive waste streams, red iron structures are virtually 100% recyclable. This means the environmental footprint is significantly lighter from the get-go, and even at the end of the building’s very long life cycle, the materials can be repurposed, reducing the demand for new resources.

Beyond recycling, the construction process itself is environmentally friendly. The precision of tight construction means less need for caulking, which can reduce energy loss through leaks. Additionally, the durability of red iron means less frequent building repairs or replacements, which translates to reduced overall environmental impact.

A RIBBON TIED IN GREEN

The environmental benefits of red iron are not just a tale of two cities. They extend to the owners and occupants of these buildings. Lower costs, faster build times, and flexible interior layouts make red iron buildings a sustainable and economic choice. Owner savings are significant. Reduced construction time and the use of pre-engineered materials minimize labor costs and time on-site. Additionally, the energy efficiency of tight construction means lower utility bills, which can present significant savings over the life of the building. The flexibility of red iron interiors adds another layer of value, allowing for easy reconfiguration as needs change without the expense and environmental impact of remodeling or moving.

Choose Arco Steel Building Systems For Red Iron Buildings

The red iron wave is a tide that’s worth riding, but not all steel suppliers are created equal. Arco Steel Building Systems is one such company that leads the pack. Our dedication to sustainability is matched only by our commitment to customer service and high-quality products.

Conscious consumers and business owners should explore the benefits of red iron buildings. The case is clear for sustainability, and it’s reinforced by the many tangible benefits red iron offers to building owners.

In conclusion, red iron shouldn’t just be a passing trend; it’s a legacy to build for the future. It’s about time we paint the town red in celebration of structures that can stand the test of time while still treading gently on the environment.

Thank You and Happy Holidays!

THANK YOU AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Can you believe it? It’s almost here, 2024! Wow, what an amazing, roller-coaster of a year 2023 has been.

At Arco Steel, we have had one of the most interesting and creative years we have ever experienced. Like so many other business owners we have had to keep a sharp eye on the economic home front. And let’s face it, we’ve all felt challenged at one time or another.

Our Customers Are The Best

This year we have seen many of our customers experience amazing growth leading to more requests for large building spaces, and we have been so honored to help fulfill that need. And while like everyone we have seen costs rise, we are proud to say that Arco Steel Building Systems has remained steadfast in our commitment to offering the highest quality materials at affordable prices with an unwavering dedication to excellent customer service. That is why we are also proud to share that 75% of our sales are from repeat customers and personal referrals.

“I am thankful for all the customers who have trusted us in helping them with their building project. By the end of the project, we hope all feel like they have been treated like a family member. I am also thankful for my team who make this happen.”

“Carolyn Wade”

“We are blessed with loyal customers and a great team at Arco. It has been a year of challenges and changes which Arco always seems to rise to and adapt to be an even better company. We are thankful for how blessed Arco and its employees are to have great customers and we are always looking forward to the next customer.”

“ Todd Wade”

We Could Not Do It Without The Arco “Family” Team

There is no doubt that our customers are the best out there, but what has allowed us to grow such wonderful relationships that keep our customers coming back, is the Arco “family” team. While each and every Arco Steel team member is an individual with exceptional skills, expertise, and talents, we all have one goal, seeing our customers happy.

Each team member shares the same Arco Steel Building Systems’ vision of devotion and faithfulness to providing amazing products with extraordinary customer service. And the proof of this has been seen in some of the most creative, astounding, and impressive steel buildings found anywhere in the South.

One such project is the Marshallberg Farm (Fish Hatchery) East in Smyrna, North Carolina. This amazing customer required a customized steel building that could house their very unique services and product offerings; and Arco Steel delivered.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of the North Carolina countryside, Arco Steel’s expert team of specialists helped to create the perfect steel building solution. The Marshallberg Farm steel building is not just functional but has the expansion capacity for continued growth. In addition, the building’s aesthetics help it to fit into the natural beauty of the property it’s on.

And along the way were several Arco Steel team members helping customers like Marshallberg Farm East to make their vision come true from the first phone call to the first swimming sturgeon. No matter how unique the need the Arco Steel team is ready for the challenge. One of those team members is our very own, Perry Godley

Perry Godley has been a part of the Arco Steel family for 14 years as a building consultant. With a dedication to seeing Arco’s customers outfitted with the perfect steel building solution, it is no wonder he has been awarded “Employee of The Year” two different times.

“My most memorable experiences are of the people in the Arco Steel office and the creativity of taking a customer’s info and turning that into a building. It’s especially an honor when I get repeat orders from customers who keep calling back. Working at Arco Steel has been a fun and fulfilling experience.”

“Perry Godley”

Perry Godley recently announced his retirement after 14 years. Known as one of the most experienced, knowledgeable resources in the steel building industry, the Arco Steel family is sad to see him go but elated that Perry has many wonderful days of golf ahead with his lovely wife and best furry friend, his dog.

“I will miss Perry. I have worked with Perry for many years as a colleague and will miss our morning conversations, his passion for UGA Dawgs and seeing him in general. Arco will not be the same without him.”

Carolyn Wade

“Perry has taught the Arco team many things, especially how to keep smiling and treat people well. A true “DAWGS” guy, I will miss talking about UGA football with him.”

Todd Wade

6 Tips For Storing Your RV Properly For Winter

6 TIPS FOR STORING YOUR RV PROPERLY FOR WINTER

Arco Steel Offers The RV Storage Building To Keep Your Investment Secure For Winter

As fall rolls in, RV owners are considering their winter recreational vehicle storage plans. Whether you are a full-time RVer or only use your recreational vehicle for vacations, it is essential to properly store your RV during the winter months to ensure it is ready to go when spring arrives. Arco Steel, the trusted RV storage building provider, offers tips for storing a recreational vehicle properly for winter and the benefits of a secure steel building.

Why is Proper RV Storage Important?

If you plan to store your recreational vehicle during the winter, you need to take precautions to protect it from the elements. Winter weather can be harsh, and without proper protection, your RV can be damaged. For example, moisture can seep into the interior of your RV, causing mold and mildew growth. Exposure to sunlight can damage your RV’s exterior and cause fading of the paint and decals. Freezing temperatures can cause water to freeze, leading to cracked pipes and other issues.

Six Tips for Storing Your RV Properly for Winter

1.Clean Your RV Thoroughly: Before you store your RV, clean it thoroughly inside and out. This includes washing the exterior, shining the tires, and emptying the holding tanks.

2.Protect the Tires: Place your RV on blocks or jacks to take the weight off the tires, which can develop flat spots from sitting in one area for an extended period. If storing outside (which is not recommended), cover your tires to protect them from sunlight, which can cause cracking.

3.Drain Your RV’s Systems: Make sure to drain your RV’s water system, including the freshwater and wastewater tanks, as well as all the pipes and faucets. This will prevent freezing water from damaging your RV’s plumbing.

4.Add A Fuel Stabilizer: Gas that sits can go bad and develop gummy deposits that damage an engine. Adding a fuel stabilizer while in storage can help prevent these deposits from forming.

5.Disconnect Your Batteries: RV batteries should be disconnected and stored in a cool (not cold)-dry place. Check your batteries with a voltmeter and charge when necessary to keep them fully charged. Remember, freezing temps can damage batteries.

6.Store Your RV in a Secure Location: Choose a secure location to store your RV. Ideally, you want to keep it in a dry, covered area. A steel building is an excellent option for RV storage because it provides essential protection from the elements. They are also durable, long-lasting, and low maintenance.

A Steel Building For RV Storage

Proper recreational vehicle storage is not just about protecting your RV from the elements. It is also about protecting your investment. Your RV represents a significant financial investment, and you want to do everything you can to ensure it lasts for years to come.

One of the best ways to protect your RV investment is by storing it in a steel building. The benefits of housing your RV in a secure steel storage building for the winter season are numerous.

Protection from Harsh Weather: A steel building provides great protection from the elements. Your RV will be shielded from rain, snow, and hail, as well as wind and extreme temperatures.

Security: A steel building is also a secure option for RV storage. You can add extra security features like alarms and cameras to ensure your RV is protected from theft and vandalism.

Long-Lasting and Low Maintenance: Steel buildings are durable and long-lasting, requiring little maintenance. They are also fire-resistant.

What Size Steel Building is Optimal for RV Storage?

The answer depends on the size of your RV. It would be best to have a structure that is longer, wider, and higher than your RV to ensure comfortable storage. Arco Steel buildings can meet a range of widths, lengths, and heights to accommodate your RV storage needs. Here is a small list of common sizes for RV storage:

30ft x 50ft x 14ft – ideal for storing a large RV with additional storage space
40ft x 60ft x 16ft – suitable for storing two medium-sized RVs with additional storage space
50ft x 100ft x 18ft – ideal for storing multiple RVs with additional storage and workspace
60ft x 120ft x 20ft – suitable for storing a fleet of RVs with extra workspace and storage

Arco Steel Building Systems, The RV Storage Solution To Protect Your Investment

Storing your RV in a secure steel building provides many benefits. At Arco Steel Building Systems, we offer a wide range of steel buildings for RV storage. Our buildings are customizable so that you can create the perfect storage solution for your recreational vehicle and family needs.

Construction Storage That Keeps Your Investment Secure

CONSTRUCTION STORAGE THAT KEEPS YOUR INVESTMENT SECURE

Pre Engineered Steel Buildings Offer Secure Storage Solutions For Construction Companies

Construction companies face several challenges that can impact their bottom line, from labor shortages to regulatory red tape. However, one of today’s most pressing concerns is the theft and vandalism of construction equipment and materials. According to the National Equipment Register (NER), construction equipment thefts amount to an estimated $300 million to $1 billion annually. Fortunately, Arco Steel Building Systems has some tips on how pre engineered steel buildings can help lessen the risk and damage of such losses.

The threat of theft and vandalism of construction equipment and materials can cause significant headaches for construction companies. Equipment left on job sites or company parking lots can be easy targets for thieves. And construction materials may be damaged by inclement weather or vandalism. The resulting loss of time and money can significantly impact a project’s schedule, budget, and profitability.

One solution to mitigate the risk to construction equipment and materials is storage. However, traditional storage solutions such as trailers can be cumbersome, expensive, and only temporary. A better solution is to use pre engineered steel buildings that can provide a secure, cost-effective, and durable solution for construction storage.

Pre engineered steel buildings offer numerous benefits for construction storage, including their sturdiness, ease of construction, and cost-effectiveness. Steel is one of the most durable building materials, and steel buildings are specially designed to withstand extreme weather, making them ideal for long-term construction sites and construction company locations. Additionally, these buildings can be customized to fit the specific equipment and materials that need to be stored, providing ample space and storage options.

The ease of construction of pre engineered steel buildings is another key benefit. These buildings are designed to be assembled quickly.

Storing Construction Equipment Securely in Pre Engineered Buildings

Pre engineered steel buildings are designed to be durable and long-lasting. They are constructed with high-quality steel that is resistant to damage from weather, fire, and other hazards. The steel used in these buildings is also recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice for construction companies.

But the biggest advantage for construction companies is that steel buildings can be customized to meet the specific storage needs for equipment. Whether it is a storage space for heavy machinery or a facility to store smaller equipment, these steel buildings can be designed to provide optimal storage capacity and organization. Additionally, they can be fitted with security features like alarms, motion sensors, and security gates to prevent unauthorized access.

Did You Know…

“It is estimated that the cost of stolen construction materials is around $600 million annually Per Year.” The National Equipment Register (NER)

Storing Construction Materials Securely

Pre engineered steel buildings can be of even greater use in the safe and secure storage of construction materials. These buildings can accommodate storage options for materials such as lumber, cement, plumbing (copper) pipes, fixtures, and roofing supplies.

Keeping construction materials organized is also essential to ensure their longevity. Steel buildings offer optimal storage space and can be outfitted with shelves and racks to better store construction materials.

With designated storage locations, workers can easily find what they need, reducing wasted time searching for equipment and materials. This efficiency can lead to a faster completion time, lowering costs and increasing profitability.

Pre Engineered Steel Buildings Offer Much Needed Versatility

Another benefit of pre engineered steel buildings is their versatility and options for use. These buildings can be designed to fit a variety of construction company needs, including storage, workshops, and even office space. By investing in a steel building, construction companies can create a multi-use building that provides value for years to come.

Arco Steel Building Systems Offers Pre Engineered Steel Buildings That Protect Your Company’s Investment Securely

Construction companies have a lot to keep track of, but theft and damage to equipment, tools, and materials are some of the most pressing concerns. Fortunately, steel buildings are excellent solutions to help protect your construction company’s investment. They offer many benefits, including security, durability, organization, and ease of construction.

By investing in these buildings, construction companies can minimize the risk of theft and damage, reduce downtime, and boost profitability. Contact Arco Steel Building Systems today to learn more about how pre engineered steel buildings can benefit your construction team.

Arco Celebrates 3-Year Anniversary of New Owners!

ARCO CELEBRATES 3-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF NEW OWNERS!

New Owners Help Arco Keep Up with Pre Engineered Building Industry While Keeping the Arco Difference

July 1st marks 3 years since Carolyn and Todd Wade took over Arco after the previous owner, Allen Freeman, retired. A loyal Arco employee since 1991, Carolyn became the company’s new president in 2020. At that time, her husband Todd joined as the vice president. They have made many changes to Arco over the past couple of years while keeping the Arco difference at the heart of what they do. Carolyn and Todd share their memories of working at Arco and some words of wisdom about working in the pre engineered building industry.

Carolyn Wade: “Arco Was the Best Surprise That Ever Happened to Me.”

Carolyn got off to an unexpected start at Arco. “I was a headhunter at the time and was trying to fill a role here at Arco. Ultimately, they hired me instead.” Little did she know that one day, she would run the company!

Carolyn has served a wide customer base, saying, “I have seen everything under the sun because everyone’s needs are different.” The most unusual building she remembers selling was 78’ tall. You certainly don’t see that every day! Technology has completely changed how Arco does business. “Back when I first started, we used to hand write everything, had one computer to share between all the salespeople, and faxed out every document we sent to a customer,” Carolyn remembers.

Carolyn and Allen hug at Allen's retirement party (2020)

Arco has had to adapt to changes in the pre engineered building industry. The COVID-19 pandemic, weather, and other catastrophes have all caused steel price fluctuations, which Carolyn says is a “challenge that we have to grind through.”

When asked what she has accomplished since taking over, Carolyn responds, “Overall, my team is my best asset.”

The accomplishment she is most proud of? “Every obstacle we have faced, we have overcome. I am lucky to work with my husband and both my daughters; it has been an absolute pleasure to watch them grow into their roles. The rest of my team has stuck together through the highs and lows, and at the end of the day, we all have each other’s backs.”

Todd Wade: "Patience to Achieve Your Goals"

Todd Wade joined Arco in 2020 when Allen retired and Carolyn took over. Todd closed his car dealership the year before and was looking for a new career.

Todd lists the changes he made to help the company run more efficiently: “New computer and phone equipment. New OMS/ERP software. New cloud-based data storage. New employees. New management. New legal counsel. New office furniture.” He notices the positive effect of these changes: “The air conditioning is not going out every week. The internet is not going out every week. The phones and computers are not going out every week. The employees are making more money and seem to be happier with all the upgrades.”

Todd and Carolyn at Arco's Christmas party (2002)

Todd looks back on his three years at Arco and shares some memories. The most unusual building he remembers selling was an alligator sanctuary. He names COVID supply chain interruptions and new tax laws as Arco’s biggest external challenges. He also addresses Arco’s internal challenges:

“Trying to make sure you are being treated fairly by all the different vendors. Making sure Arco is treating all of the employees fairly with just compensation and time off.”

Todd shares how experience that he gained from his previous businesses helps him run Arco:

“They helped me realize how important it is to keep the books straight. They helped me understand how technology is very important for the overall success of a business. They helped me to understand how to deal with employees, customers, and vendors. They helped me to understand that you must have patience to achieve your goals.”

Carolyn and Todd at Arco's Christmas Party (2003)

The Future of Arco

Carolyn and Todd share their goals and visions for Arco’s future. “It sounds cliché, but it has always been my goal to treat my employees and my customers like family. I want to maintain our reputation as a customer- first company, with customer needs always first,” Carolyn explains.

Todd shares his main goal. “I want Arco to be known as a fair and honest company that everyone can trust to do business with. I see Arco as leading in the use of technology to assist in quoting, delivering, and accounting of metal building materials across the country.”

Feel the Arco Difference When You Choose Us For Your Pre Engineered Building Needs!

This creates the difference that make us the preferred choice for your metal building. This month, we would like to introduce you to Mike Graves, our newest employee, as well as spotlight our employee of the year, Perry Godley.

Meet Mike Graves

Building Consultant Mike’s journey to Arco shows how the Arco difference extends to employees as well as customers. He shares why he was drawn to apply for a job at Arco:

“One of my best friends worked at Arco when he was fresh out of college. I was looking for a new opportunity and he thought Arco would be a great fit for me. He told me how much he admired Carolyn and Todd Wade and that he continues to do business with them today. My friend reached out to Carolyn and Todd to see if they were hiring, and fortunately they were. Needless to say, I got the job and I’m thrilled to be given the opportunity to prove myself here.”

Mike is new to the steel building industry, but he brings with him years of experience with metal products and building maintenance. In the past, he worked for a heating equipment manufacturer, a battery manufacturer, and flexible metal hose and expansion joint manufacturers. He also has several years of experience with exterior building maintenance and residential roofing.

We asked him what skills he brings to the Arco team:

“Early in my professional career, I helped lead a company to ISO 9001 certification as a quality assurance specialist. In that role, I learned the fundamentals of how a company should operate. Since then, I have been an operations manager, a small business owner, and an inside sales/account manager. Having a non-linear career path has allowed me to develop a varied skill set. However, in nearly all these positions, I worked directly with customers. I have been in sales in some form or fashion for most of my life.”

Arco’s work environment stands out to Mike, and he shares his expectations and goals for his new role:

“Everyone seems to be genuinely happy here. Arco is a team of friendly, experienced, knowledgeable people and I’m excited to be the newest member of that team. I’m also looking forward to helping customers with their metal building needs. Purchasing a metal building is a major expenditure for most people. Helping customers get exactly what they need, at an affordable price, within the time frame they need it will undoubtedly be a rewarding experience.

I want to exceed the expectations of a new hire. I have a lot to learn, but I hope to gain the knowledge and confidence of a seasoned professional as soon as I possibly can.”

When asked what the Arco difference means to him, Mike says:

“Arco Building Systems is in a very competitive market and year after year Arco is one of the largest suppliers of steel buildings in the United States. Why? Exceptional customer service. The sales representatives are not just order takers. They are knowledgeable building consultants who understand that every customer is unique. They listen to the customer’s needs, advise them of their options, and treat them as they would a good friend or neighbor.”

Perry Godley Spotlight

Our building consultant Perry Godley is honored to be Arco’s 2022 employee of the year. Perry joined the Arco family in October 2009 after seeing an internet ad for an open role. He brought his previous experience in construction and has combined it with exceptional customer service to create the Arco difference our customers love. He is the perfect representative of what the Arco difference means to our employees and customers. Perry prides himself on the wide range of customers he has served. In several states all over the U.S., stretching from South Florida to Vermont, you can find a metal building that he helped sell.

Perry looks back on his experience at Arco and reflects on his favorite moments.

When asked about his favorite memory at Arco, he replies:

“The 1st time I had the most building orders in one month (11).”

Perry has shown us how he values all our customers equally. When asked if he has a favorite building he sold, he says:

“The last order in. Each and every time.”

When reflecting on Arco’s growth over the past decade, Perry says

“Our software has improved with the ability to price more options for our customers.”

Perry embodies the Arco difference. He says that his work ethic and answering the phone with a smile contributes to his success.

When asked what the Arco difference means to him, his answer is simple.

“Integrity.”

We asked Perry about his favorite part of working in the steel industry. He tells us,

“We are not just selling a product. We get to work with the customers to create a building that meets their needs. It is also rewarding to have customers with whom you work with on multiple projects and who send you referrals.”
