AltaLink Needed Reliable Outdoor Racking Without Concrete Foundations
AltaLink, a leading energy provider in Western Canada, required an efficient and durable outdoor storage racking system for their equipment yards. The project, managed by West Core Construction, presented several challenges:
Unstable Terrain: The yard consisted of uneven gravel, making traditional concrete foundations impractical.
Extreme Weather: The racking system needed to withstand the region’s temperature swings, from harsh winters to hot summers.
Long-Term Functionality: The solution had to be sturdy, low-maintenance, and capable of organizing heavy materials.
AltaLink needed a partner who could create a stable, cost-effective system designed for the demands of Western Canada’s energy sector.
Westbow Systems Designed a Stable, Weather-Resistant Solution
Westbow Systems developed an outdoor racking system that met AltaLink’s needs without the cost and complexity of concrete foundations. The solution included:
Innovative Ground Stabilization: Using wood pilings and rebar, the racking was securely leveled on the uneven gravel surface.
Heavy-Duty Materials: Built with high-strength steel, the racking was designed to endure wind, snow, and rain year-round.
Efficient Installation: Over several weeks, the team completed the structured layout, ensuring a clean and organized yard.
By designing a system that could be installed without permanent foundations, Westbow Systems provided AltaLink with a cost-effective, adaptable, and long-lasting storage solution.
A Secure, Organized, and Efficient Outdoor Storage Yard
The completed racking system transformed AltaLink’s outdoor storage space:
Reliable Stability: No shifting or uneven placement, even on gravel. Increased Organization: Clear, structured storage improved workflow.
Minimal Maintenance: Durable construction ensures long-term performance.
This project demonstrated Westbow Systems’ ability to build functional storage solutions in challenging environments, setting a new standard for outdoor racking in Western Canada.
