Helping Parking Garages Create Community
Gone are the days when parking garages were accepted as a practical solution for the need to park a large number of cars in landlocked urban environments. Today, Valmont® Structures is helping show architects how parking garages can be transformed into a structure that enhances its surroundings while adding new benefits such as protection of pedestrians and their vehicles as well as reductions in light pollution.
Safety
Safety begins by protecting people as they move in an out of the facility and keeping vehicles protected when they’re parked. Each of our facade systems is compatible with a tested vehicle safety barrier and integral facade attachment system – all supplied as a complete engineered solutions.
Efficiency
Movement of people and vehicles into and around the parking garage is paramount to efficiency. We believe efficiency also means designing and manufacturing structural components that stand up to the elements and are easy to maintain.
Ventilation
Ventilation of automotive exhaust and other vehicle-related contaminants is vital to the health of the parking public, and for meeting code mandated open-air requirements. But it also extends to keeping facilities cool in the summer and minimizing cold winter winds.
Aesthetic Value
Whether new construction or retrofit, our facades offer you the opportunity to create nearly any aesthetic. This ensures the parking garage elevates the visual beauty of the neighborhood and the larger urban cityscape.
