Honda Aircraft Company Inc.

Greensboro, NC 

In late 2008, Honda Aircraft Company moved into their brand new world headquarters. This stunning facility is located near Greensboro, NC and will be the home of production, Research and Development and corporate administration.

SECO’s customer, Miles-McClellan Construction, awarded this multi-million dollar metal panel contract to SECO in August of 2007.

The architect, Barge, Waggoner, Sumner and Cannon out of Knoxville, TN designed the entire project around Centria’s extensive product line.

The Research and Development component of the project utilized over 90,000 SF of Centria’s Versawall and Versapanel insulated panels.

The Office Building component of the project was quite a bit more demanding and complex than the R & D Building. SECO furnished and installed 13,000 SF of Centria’s insulated Versawall panels, another 13,000 SF of Centria’s aluminum Formabond panels, approximately 17,000 SF of Centria’s Dimension Series composite insulated panels, about 2200 SF of Centria’s integrated Formavue window system and the entire integrated sunshade/canopy system from Construction Specialties.

In addition to all of these various cladding systems, SECO also engineered, fabricated and installed all of the structural supports for these systems. And, as we always strive to do, our in house field forces performed 100% of the installation.

Our customer was quite pleased with SECO’s performance as not only did SECO execute a nearly flawless metal panel scope, but the work was accomplished with zero accidents, zero injuries and was completed on time. We proudly note that SECO was awarded the very prestigious 2008 Eagle Safety Award for outstanding safety performance on this Honda project.

The project manager for Miles-McClellan stated, “SECO’s attention to detail was proven with their project team working in a professional and safe manner. It would be a pleasure to work with SECO again in the future.”

That is high praise from a big league contractor, Miles-McClellan, our partner on this monumental, highly visible project in North Carolina.
