“When we were awarded the design/build contract for the
New Glasgow/Westville Regional Police Services Facility, we
were faced with a number of challenges. As well as a need
for high security and superior sound insulation, the project
had a very tight construction schedule that required erecting
the building over the winter months.
With Arxx, we were able to pour a high quality concrete
wall in January. We closed the building in, and the crews
worked inside through February and March in their shirtsleeves.
Throughout the project, Eric Pineault and the staff
of Bird and Stairs proved invaluable with their ongoing technical
support.”
Robert Higgins Construction
It wasn’t a major feat winning us over. Higgins is using
progressive products such as the Arxx Wallsystem – if you
tell me you’re going to build a concrete wall and it is insulated,
this is well suited to the design of the building. It’s a
terrific building!”
