Accurate Metal Fabricating corporate with Omni Ecosystem's producing parts for their Living Shelf needs. Our clients can use our experienced engineers, services, and sheet metal fabrication capabilities for prototypes and production parts. One of the projects we worked on together was for the new McDonald's corporation lobby in Chicago.
Living Wall With Sheet Metal
Green living walls are a trend in both interior and exterior design. Studies have found many health benefits of bringing a natural connection to the work environment. Your customer can also apply for higher green standard credits if they use Metal, which is fully recyclable.
Omni Ecosystem's Living Shelf was developed explicitly for interior edible plant applications, as they do have another product for interior non-edible planting (Omni Tapestry). Unlike most interior vertical planters on the market, Omni's Living Shelf has integrated lighting, irrigation, and ventilation systems to maintain optimal plant health. It was custom-designed and built for McDonald's new headquarters.
The parts Accurate made are the main planting shelves that support the potted plants, LED lights, ventilation pipes, irrigation lines, and unit drainage pan. Each unit contains two planting rows and is roughly 4 ft wide by 1 ft 8 in tall by 1 ft 8 in deep. They hang on a metal framework and a supplemental mechanical system, including the fans, transformers, and controllers. An overall drain pan underneath the entire assembly connects the system to the building's plumbing.
Shelving Components
Accurate fabricated the shelf components, including perforation, bending, welding, and anodizing. The pieces were assembled in Omni's warehouse, and the assembled units were installed onsite by Omni's subcontractors. Accurate provided matching brackets, end panels, and connector pieces that were installed onsite. Omni also worked with Accurate's engineering during the design process to help streamline the production. Accurate produced prototype units before the mass production of the 30 units that were ultimately installed onsite.
Accurate has fabricating equipment focusing on manufacturing products. It is a one-stop shop for a company looking to increase efficiency and reduce turnaround time. You can bring Accurate Metal Fabricating in at any point in the design stage, from adding existing parts to creating a new product line. We can also sign a non-disclosure agreement with the designer to protect their confidential information.
