Corporate Design and Development Group specified Petersen Aluminum Corp.’s 12-inch Flush Panels in Bright Yellow and Red finished with a high-gloss acrylic paint for fascia and soffits on Ricky Rocket’s Fuel Center. Progressive Dynamics Inc. installed approximately 3,700 square feet of Petersen Aluminum’s 24-gauge, 16-inch Tite-Loc Plus and Snap-On Panels in Cityscape Cool Color on the roof. Progressive Dynamics installed Tite-Loc Panels in curved 55- foot, 5-inch lengths on a large portion of the roof with a low slope. Tight radiuses on several canopies above entrances were clad with the Snap-On Panels.
Additionally, Progressive Dynamics installed Alcoa Architectural Products’ Reynobond aluminum composite material (ACM) on the building’s front exterior. A rocket man figure was installed on top of the 8,200-square-foot building, which features a car wash, convenience store, food outlets and fuel service.
Rodger Leonard, project manager at Progressive Dynamics, says the only challenge was installing the 55-foot-long panels. “The long panels did require four guys to handle them once they were craned up to the roof, but we’re used to that sort of thing,” he says.
