A large retail location needed an oversized 9" × 9" downspout with multiple bends that no gutter supplier stocks. We designed it, laser cut it, formed it, and riveted it.
A large retail facility needed a replacement downspout — but not a stock one. The building's drainage called for a 9" × 9" section, four feet long, routed around obstructions with multiple bends. Commercial gutter suppliers top out well below that size, and the facilities team had no drawings — just the old spout and the path it had to follow.
We designed the downspout in-house from field measurements: developed the flat patterns for each bent segment, laser cut them from aluminum sheet, formed the bends on the press brake, and riveted the assembly — the standard joining method for architectural aluminum drainage, avoiding weld distortion and finish damage on thin sheet. Design, cutting, forming, and assembly all happened under one roof.
A drop-in replacement that matched the building's drainage path exactly — delivered as a finished assembly the facilities crew could hang without field modification. Oversized architectural sheet metal that catalogs don't carry is a design-and-build job, and that's the work we're set up for.
