KEYAG KUBOTA
RED DEER, ALBERTA
In mid 2015, Eagle Builders was contacted by KeyAg Ventures to design and build a new
precast Kubota dealership along Highway 11. After being awarded the contract, Eagle
Builders broke ground and cast-in-place foundation walls were poured. The complete wall
assembly was manufactured in a plant controlled setting using concrete, structural steel
and polystyrene insulation. It took a total of four and a half days to manufacture all precast
components. With a crew of five employees, Eagle Builders erected 110 structural precast
wall panels in only eight days using a 165-ton mobile crane. The building envelope was
completed in only five weeks with all precast, steel components, doors and windows. Once
enclosed, heat and floor prep began so concrete floors could be poured with no additional
hoarding costs. The large 12ft wide precast panels used on this project were engineered to
have fewer joints, reducing air infiltration and thereby helping maximize energy efficiency.
The wall assembly was installed with a steel roof system and fitted with R-30 Duro-Last
Roofing. What sold the owner on building with precast was its longevity, flexibility and
thermal properties. This project was designed with flexibility and expansion in mind:
multiple knockout walls, ground work for future overhead cranes and extra available office
space were all incorporated. Other unique features consist of a showroom scissor lift,
fitness facility, patio and large curtain windows. This project took a total of five months
to complete and will last for generations, requiring minimal maintenance throughout its
service life.
