FireTrak System

Sweaney recently used the FireTrak System on our Porterville Dialysis Center project. This head of wall track system is used to allow deflection for the full height studs while allowing 2 layers of drywall to be installed to maintain the fire-rating of the wall assembly. The side leg can be ordered for single & double layer applications.

Steel Building Systems W/ Office Wing

We have a lot of experience with steel buildings: Constructing an office space inside a steel building system always requires some planning & innovation. Your floor plan has to match the space available from the building span, while all your subtrades have to fit all their stuff(conduits,pipes,ductwork) into walls built inside of steel beams & girts. Not to mention your final product is not supposed to look anything like a metal building on the inside!
