PPG Recognized With Chairman’s Awards at METALCON 2014
PITTSBURGH – PPG Industries’ coil and building products group received three 2014 Chairman’s Awards from the Metal Construction Association (MCA) at METALCON 2014, an annual conference dedicated to metal construction products, technologies and solutions.
The North Scottsdale Park and Ride was selected in the metal roofing category. PPG supplied DURANAR® VARI-COOL® infrared (IR)-reflective metal roof coatings for the structure, which is located on a six-acre site near the Scottsdale, AZ, airport and provides 275 shaded parking spaces for commuters. The architectural highlight of the complex, designed by DWL Architects + Planners, Phoenix, is a 12,000-square-foot wing-like canopy that floats over the passenger platform and protects visitors from sunlight and weather. Metal Works Custom Fabrication of Phoenix fabricated the wing-shaped metal canopy with metal panels supplied by Steelscape, Kalam, WA.
