The Vision
A global company headquartered in Schiedam, the Netherlands, Mammoet serves petrochemical, mining, power generation, natural resource development, civil and marine industries worldwide with tailor-made heavy lifting and transportation solutions for onshore or offshore. Structural elements are exposed and finished in Mammoet’s brilliant corporate red signature color to match the company’s logo; metal wall panels demonstrate bold, continuous, horizontal, ribbed profiles that are finished in a reflective metallic gray color; and, each window frame is painted white to enhance recognition and visibility. The design team chose a canted wall design to reflect Mammoet’s commitment to innovation. Like each of the structural elements in the envelope, Airolite’s load-bearing outrigger elements incorporated in the cantilevered Airolite sun controls are painted Mammoet red to emphasize their structural contribution and complement the color of the corporate logo. The metallic gray bar blades, configured in a progression from 10-1/2-inches to 4-5/8-inch wide members, and round fascia elements in the sun controls pose yet more linear horizontal sightlines and complement the color and profile of the metal panels.

That Works
The canted window orientation and custom-engineered exterior Airolite sun controls yield solar shading and manage glare imposed by the intense Texas sun. The sleek sun control profiles further serve to break up the stark metal and glass walls to lend scale and detail to the facade. The building was designed to LEED standards, but certification was not pursued.
Due to operational, environmental and safety concerns, the facility was designed to be constructed and relocated about ¼ mile to its permanent location. As the world's leader in heavy-lifting and multimodal transportation, Mammoet didn't foresee any special challenges in building the facility first and then relocating it to its new address.
