Olympia Steel Buildings Canada CSA-A660 Quality Certification for Steel Building Systems

The manufacturer of Olympia Steel Buildings ®, Steel Built Corp., has been certified as meeting all requirements of Canada’s CSA-A660 Quality Certification for Steel Building Systems.

 “Steel Built Corp is proud to meet all requirements of Canada’s CSA-A660 Quality Certification for Steel Building Systems,” announced Arnold Davis, President of Universal Steel Buildings Corp, sole supplier of Olympia Steel Buildings®. “Not all pre-engineered metal building companies are able to meet the high standards of quality set by CSA-A660 and the CSSBI. CSA-A660 Certification assures Canadian customers that Olympia Steel Buildings meet or exceed the quality requirements for certification established for pre-engineered metal building systems and are manufactured to adhere to the standards of the CSSBI, the Canadian Sheet Steel Building Institute.“

With CSA-A660 compliance comes the assurance that the manufacturer has been audited for personnel training and adherence to procedures, design and engineering compliance, raw material controls and traceability, and fabrication, warehousing, packaging, shipping compliance to the plant quality program. “ISO Accreditation is not the same as CSA-A660 Certification,” notes Davis. “CSA-A660 certification includes a quality control audit like ISO, but in addition undertakes an engineering design and personnel audit.”

“It is mandatory that U.S. manufacturers selling steel buildings into Canada have this certification,” says Davis. “Our factory, Steel Built Corp, has invested time and money to ensure that our pre-engineered metal building systems meet Canadian standards. All pre-engineered steel buildings and metal building systems bought out of the U.S. should have “factory of origin” documentation written on purchase contracts along with a copy of the CSA-A660 certificate from that factory. Otherwise,” warns Davis, “the buyer may experience problems getting permits for buildings from factories that are not CSA-A660 certified for Canada. Be sure to ask for proof of CSA-A660 certification before you buy.

About CSA-A660 Certification

The CSA-A660 Standard was developed to assist code enforcement officials in reviewing building permit submissions incorporating steel buildings and metal building systems and to help purchasers receive a quality certified building. As part of the CSA-A660 compliance, the manufacturer provides a "Certificate of Design and Manufacturing Conformance" signed and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer for each building project.

Steel Building Supplied To Pennsylvania's Metalico

Universal Steel Buildings Corp. recently announced supply and construction of a twelve-thousand three-hundred square foot metal warehouse building for Pennsylvania company, Metalico, Inc. Universal Steel Buildings construction division was selected to supply the Olympia Steel Buildings pre-engineered metal building, provide all concrete work and construct the building. The eighty-two by one hundred fifty foot pre-engineered steel building with a twenty-foot eave height will be used for a warehouse for non-ferrous scrap metal sales. The order was placed on December 12, 2011 and the building was delivered on January 7 2012. The new building, an attractive pearl gray with rustic red trim and 1:12 pitch screw-down Galvalume roof will be attached to an existing building at the company’s Neville Island site. Construction is slated for completion by April 1, 2012

 “They were very easy customers to work with,” stated Victor Gutierrez III, Universal Steel Buildings sales manager, speaking about Metalico, Inc. “Once they met with us, toured the metal building factory and saw the quality and precision engineering, they were sold on Olympia Steel Buildings.”

Metalico operates both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal recycling facilities in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, serving U.S. and Canadian markets.  All forms of metal scrap are purchased from manufacturers, small scrap dealers, demolition contractors and peddlers. Metalico Pittsburgh is a full-service metals recycling company that plays a leading role in scrap metals recovery both in the U.S. and abroad. They emphasize that recycling of metals saves natural resources, energy, and consumption of scarce landfill space.  Metalico scrap locations are positioned to offer easy access to peddlers and local residents, and encourage recycling of metal scrap, such as siding, window frames and doors, which typically end up in landfills.  They are one of a handful of companies in the U.S. that own and operate the state-of-the-art Texas Shredder model 80/104 for the shredding of scrap metal. Easy access to the facility by barge from the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers allows Metalico to handle the largest demolition and recycling jobs. The POHC Railroad also services their Neville Island facilities.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized the company's use of renewable wind energy and named Metalico as a Green Power Partner. Metalico continues to contribute to efforts to use renewable energy, reduce pollution and encourage recycling. 

“Because Metalico prides itself on being a Green company, the decision to go with Olympia was easy,” Gutierrez observes. “Pre-engineered steel buildings are inherently Green, and since the steel building factory itself is located just a few miles away from the construction site, it meets Green building requirements of sourcing materials locally as well.”

 

 

Olympia Steel Buildings Announces New Office In Canada

Olympia Steel Buildings Serving Canada has announced that they are expanding their offices and have moved to Historic Main Street Unionville into the restored Queens Hotel at a 178 Main Street, Unionville, Ontario, Canada.

“Our low overall cost business model combined with the strength of the Canadian dollar is the reason that Olympia Building Systems has expanded throughout all of Canada, requiring opening of our new offices at the Queen’s Hotel,” explains company Vice President, Steve Wetmore.  “Olympia Steel Buildings’ team of professionals using our low overall cost business model ensure that our customers are provided with the very best products and services at the lowest possible price available in the market today.”

The new Queen's Hotel location of offices for Olympia Steel Buildings Canada, originally built during the 1860’s and recently restored, is the landmark of Unionville's Main Street. Unionville is a suburban village in Markham, Ontario, located only 33 km northeast of downtown Toronto. This convenient location makes the new offices easily accessible to customers wishing to personally visit Olympia representatives to discuss their building projects. The population of Unionville is only about 50,000, but with a number of “century homes” dating back to the 19^th century, the historic village of Unionville attracts thousands of visitors each year during the Unionville Festival. The quaint main street of the historic town with structures virtually unchanged since its founding in 1794 is renowned for its art galleries, restaurants, shops and unique European views and has been cast as the fictional Connecticut town of “Stars Hollow” during the first season of Gilmore Girls television show, and has appeared as many other television and movie backdrops as well.

“Our professionally trained service specialists provide consistently efficient support on any Canadian project and Canadians respond by buying our buildings,” emphasised Wetmore. “That we control all stages of the quoting, design and manufacturing process including Canadian engineering ensures that our buildings will meet and exceed all local building codes and quality assurance standards and are built to last a lifetime. Canadian engineered stamped drawings are provided as a part of each building package.”

“I would like to encourage our Canadian customers to seize the opportunity of the Canadian dollar and call today,” concludes Wetmore. “We look forward to working with our Canadian customers. Our Olympia Steel Buildings team is dedicated to customer service and making each building project the satisfying experience it should be.”
