If it weren’t for technology, Lee Company might still be working on its first design-build project for Claborn Manufacturing in North Alabama: The structural measurements provided were wrong. Fortunately, Lee Company conducted its own 3D scan. That data helped shape a detailed, virtual model, and the fab shop team created 40-foot plumbing and mechanical racks that fit perfectly. Technology and teamwork went hand-in-hand throughout this nearly $4.9 million project: Everyone pulled together to get this industrial makeover done right. With more Claborn jobs now underway, this project is a huge success for North Alabama, no matter how you measure it!
