Manko Window Systems Wausau Window View Our Portfolio For More Examples Of Our Work Case Studies Fox River Middle School Project Location: 921 W Main Street, Waterford, WI General Contractor: Scherrer Construction Co, Inc Framing Types Used: Kawneer 1-3/4” x 4-1/2” 450 Interior Storefront, Kawneer 2” x 4-1/2” 451T Exterior Storefront Framing, Kawneer 2-1/2” x 7-1/2” 1600 System 1 Curtainwall & Kawneer 2-1/2” x 10-1/2” 1600 Curtainwall Door Types Used: Kawneer 500 Wide Stile; The Sliding Door Company Sliding Doors Glass Types Used: 1” Clear Insulated Solarban 60 LowE, 1-1/8” Clear Laminated Insulated Solarban 60 LowE, 1/4” Clear Tempered, 1/4″ Clear Mirror Project Description: This project was a multi-phased project that included a large addition to the existing school as well as a remodel of the existing school. We required the use of multiple boom lifts and a 10k fork lift to install the curtainwall as it was all loaded with steel and some framing components weighed upwards of 600lbs. Due to the multiple phases of the project it required multiple mobilizations of crews and material and a significant amount of coordination with the general contractor. In the end MPG had over 2,800 hours of field labor and 368 hours of shop labor to complete this project Waukesha City Hall Project Location: 201 Delafield Street, Waukesha, WI 53188 General Contractor: Greenfire Management Services Framing Types Used: Tubelite 400TU Curtainwall Door Types Used: Tubelite Thermal Block Medium Stile Doors Glass Types Used: 1” Clear Insulated Cardinal 366 LowE #2 with Grey Techno Spacers Project Description: This project had issues from the beginning with our start date due to the mason’s having difficulty procuring their material from the manufacturer. It was originally planned that the brick would all be installed before our frames went in but at the time of the original start date we were looking for work to keep our glaziers busy. MPG and Greenfire came up with a plan to allow us to install our glass and frames before the mason so that we could keep the project moving forward. Due to the site terrain and layout we had to rent a 110 ton hydraulic truck crane to set our frames and glass. We paired that with MPG owned 60’ & 66’ boom lifts to complete the installation. For certain areas of the building we had to rent an 86’ telescopic boom lift to be able to reach frames set back from the face of the building. The end of the project came with completing a skywalk to connect the new city hall building with an existing parking garage. We had to coordinate again with Greenfire to have specific lanes of traffic blocked off so that we could safely work in our boom lifts from the street. All said and done, MPG had over 5,000 field labor hours and 470 shop labor hours invested in this project. Splat DPI Project Location: 3760 Wheelhouse Road, Milwaukee, WI General Contractor: Bence Build Framing Types Used: Kawneer 2-1/2” x 7-1/2” 1600 System 2 SSG Screw Spline Curtainwall Door Types Used: Kawneer 190 Narrow Stile Glass Types Used: Viracon 1” VRE-38 on Pacifica #2; 1-1/8” VE1-2M Laminated Insulated Orange Project Description: This project was a standard precast building with a grand main entrance & office area at the front of the building. MPG installed Kawneer’s screw spline curtainwall with vertical SSG joints to give the building the solid glass look. The owner was very particular of having his company’s colors displayed proudly on the building so much work was done before dirt was even moved. Multiple meetings were had between MPG & Bence Build to come up with the right combination of glass colors and aluminum that would show-off the blue and orange colors. Once it came time to start install we rented a 40 ton hydraulic truck crane coupled with our own 60’ telescopic boom lifts to help set the glass and the frames. This helped speed up our installation time significantly. All said and done we had over 1,000 field labor hours and 140 shop labor hours invested in this job. Kohler Chapel Project Location: Mosel, WI General Contractor: C.D. Smith Construction Framing Types Used: Hope’s Steel Windows & Kawneer 2” x 4-1/2” 451T Storefront Door Types Used: Hope’s Steel Doors Glass Types Used: Agnora 1” & 1-15/16” Clear Insulated LowE Project Description: This was a very specialty project for Kohler. It required a lot of up front work by MPG with the architects and glass engineers. The owner wanted to have a massive window looking out of their Chapel space on to Lake Michigan. The jobsite was also located right on a bluff edge of Lake Michigan which left very minimal site access and space for this large glass and frame to be installed. The general contractor had to rip out multiple trees to provide us access to the openings. MPG had to rent a 10k fork lift along with Ergo Robotics Solutions’ Thom-4000 suction cup to be able to install an approximately 8’ wide by 24’ tall piece of glass that weighed over 2,400lbs. This was not a very labor intensive project but extremely specialized with the material installed as well as the equipment needed to install. All in all MPG had 340 hours of field labor and just 16 hours of shop labor invested in this project. We design it. Fabricate it. Install it.
