Sunbelt Rentals has made a name for itself by making seemingly impossible structures a reality to solve clients’ needs. Especially within the construction field, temporary structure requirements can change as quickly as the project itself.In early January one of the nation’s largest healthcare providers reached out to Sunbelt Rentals with a unique project request. This client was about to embark on a sky-high renovation and needed a solution to keep crews and employees within the building safe and keep the workspace climate-controlled throughout the renovations. After approaching another temporary structure company, they were directed to Sunbelt Rentals because of its reputation with customized temporary structure solutions.
Sunbelt Rentals teams were tasked with first bundling the equipment for a crane lift, then transporting the necessary equipment up 12-stories, and finally staggering Sunbelt Rentals trucks on the street below in such a way that they wouldn’t block downtown street operations.

Sunbelt Rentals project managers needed to carefully calculate the weight capacity of the roof these structures would be built on. Teams had to connect purlins carefully over a very weak structure and anchor them into the roof membrane, keeping the inside heating so the building would not get cold. The building did not have enough electrical power for electric heaters so Sunbelt Rentals teams needed to tap into the natural gas line that ran across the top of the building to keep workers warm.
