PROBLEM-SOLVING & ADAPTABILITY
We were challenged to develop a folding door system to reduce the footprint this enclosure would occupy. A double tri-fold door system was the end result.
Fabrication
Completed the project on budget
Project Summary
The City of Avalon approached us to develop a concept enclosure to conceal a fuel transfer station adjacent to the harbor dockside. Due to space constraints, we determined that the most practical solution was an aluminum tri-folding door enclosure. The landscape architect provided the CAD file for the decorative design pattern, while our team handled the structural design and fabrication in-house. After fabrication, the enclosure received a special marine-grade coating system to ensure durability in the harsh seaside environment.

Client Feedback
Demel Fabrication delivered a highly efficient and professional solution for our in-suite egress stair. From concept design through installation, their team was responsive, detail-driven, and adaptable. The prefabricated kit approach minimized onsite disruption and helped us stay on schedule. Their ability to meet code, coordinate with multiple teams, and execute cleanly on-site was impressive.
