I use to work as a security guard for a fairly large corporation. My work site was owned by a japanese chemical company. They sell chemicals to large technology companies such as Intel. The plant I worked at has many different machines to create the product they sell. Some of the product is only created from this company. Throughout the time I worked here machinery would break down and always need to be repaired. I asked my boss why don’t they just replace the machine or whatever the situation was. He said the Japanese don’t like the spend the money and they just fix it to get it working again. So this leads to alot of breakdowns because they never replace anything. The company started to outgrow the storage for the chemical drums so they expanded. They didn’t build a concrete building like the other buildings they have. They used a process called rollforming. I remember the construction since I was the person letting them on the property. They used some rollform equipment to construct the building. From my memory the construction was completed in six months. I know having metal forming done is much more cost effective then having a concrete building made. The company I worked at has five sperate buildings. I think they did this so if a fire did happen they would only lose one building or section of the business. I was told that just one of the buildings cost at least 1 million to make. I’m sure they could exceed this easy. The buildings were made back in 1990. Todays prices would be much greater. Having this metal building saved the company alot of money and worked for storage.
