Happy New Year!!!

2016 was a good year here at Kelly.  One of the notable achievements for our company in the past year was becoming ISO 9001:2015 certified.  In the spirit of continuous improvement, there are some new things to look forward to from the Kelly Klosure engineering team in 2017.  In addition to providing thoughtful, efficient designs to meet your enclosure challenges we are working on a couple of special projects this year.

The first and most visible is our conversion from doing our drawings and designs in a 2-D AutoCAD environment to a 3-D Solidworks environment.  We are currently building our parts library and are planning to be producing building models in 3-D by mid-year.  We are making this change to better address complex requirements from our clients and to provide a more comprehensive view of what we are building prior to actual production.  This capability will also allow us to interact with many of our clients who are already working in a 3-D design environment.

The second special project for this year, is to check and revise, if necessary, our system design to comply with the new structural design requirements of ASCE 7-16 which will be published in the next couple months.  While this effort is transparent to our customers, keeping up to date with current design criteria is critical to meeting the requirements our clients have for a wide variety of building codes and specifications.

These efforts will allow us to continue to provide world class solutions to all of your enclosure needs in 2017 and the years to come.
