In June of 2023, MJW’s long-time client Enviva Biomass reached out to request a quote for construction of a fire protection system throughout their Amory, Mississippi manufacturing facility that was being reconstructed due to catastrophic damage caused by a tornado earlier in 2023. The scope of work was challenging as Enviva was only able to build three “Big Top” fabric structures instead of a typical steel structure building. MJW designers had to get creative with respect to locating and supporting the weight of all fire protection and fire alarm system equipment from the Big Top’s unique structural framing, while assuring the system’s full operational capabilities.
