KANSAS CITY, MO \u2013 Western Specialty Contractor\u2019s Architectural Sheet Metal Division in Kansas City is being praised by Missouri American Water for its installation of custom sheet metal panels on the facades of nine aging well house buildings in Joplin, MO.<\/p>\n
A well house or pump house is a small structure or shelter built over a water well. Its primary role is to protect the mechanical components, including the pump and pipes, from weather elements such as wind, rain, and snow, extending the life of a well system.<\/p>\n
Durable sheet metal panels on the fa\u00e7ades will provide a high level of projection for Missouri American Water\u2019s well houses.<\/p>\n
\u201cWestern was great to work with us on rehabilitating our well house buildings that were in serious need of repairs. The jobs presented some unique challenges, but they stayed with it and were very effective. Communication throughout this process was very critical and Western\u2019s crews were very good about reaching out to us with questions and offering solutions to problems presented,\u201d said Bob Kirby of Missouri American Water.<\/p>\n
Starting the project in June 2024, Western replaced aging, damaged wood siding on the exteriors of the well house buildings with durable, custom sheet metal panels. Sheet metal panels add a sleek look and personality to a building, plus they are long-lasting and cost effective from the start, with efficient installation time and typically very low maintenance. Western Specialty Contractor\u2019s Architectural Sheet Metal Division has been fabricating and installing custom metal wall panels for the past 20 years.<\/p>\n

Western worked closely with Missouri American Water to ensure that the well houses were offline for the shortest amount of time as possible to limit disruption to customers. Western was able to complete the work ahead of schedule at the end of March 2025, and under budget.<\/p>\n
