Coast started performing work for MicroGREEN Polymers, Inc. in 2011 by pouring a concrete pad around a grinder at their factory in Arlington. Since then, Coast has been the contractor of choice for MicroGREEN. Coast understands the needs, time-frames, and being completed on time and that has allowed Coast to be the preferred contractor for MicroGREEN.

The singular mission of MicroGREEN Polymers is to provide the plastics industry and the world with environmentally sound plastics technologies that offer substantial economic advantages. The “Micro” part of their name is an abbreviation of micro-cellular technology, while “GREEN” connotes the eco-friendly nature of the technology. The”GREEN” benefits of Ad-air ® technology relate to bottom-line benefits. Quite simply, using less plastic costs less. As one can guess by their name, MicroGREEN is all about finding product solutions that are both environmentally and economically sustainable. Their standard is no different when it comes to construction.

Due to the success of their unique solution for the plastics industry, MicroGREEN has quickly outgrown their existing space. Coast was MicroGREEN’s first choice in helping expand their operations. Coast designed and constructed 5,000 SF of additional shipping and office space, including reconfiguration of current offices. This project will include containment pads and 2 additional loading docks. Coast works carefully on every project to provide GREEN building solutions. Coast provides solutions that are environmentally and budget friendly.

Coast completed the construction of a radio tower for Icom America in February 2014. Icom headquarters are located in Kirkland. The tower construction began by pouring a 10’ x 10’ concrete footing that required 4000 PSI per SF before tower installation. The footing was 4 feet thick and has 2 #8 rebar mats. The 70 foot radio tower holds a 40’ x 25’ antenna.

This project would normally need 4 weeks for project completion. The project presented some delays with permit acquisition. Upon permit receipt, Coast was informed that the project needed to be completed within a 2 week period for a worldwide broadcast led by the founder of Icom. Coast began work immediately by using a 2 day, high early mix to accelerate the curing of the concrete to meet the 4000 PSI needed to set the tower. The tower was then assembled on site and craned into place. Coast was able to complete the project two days early before the broadcast.

Icom America Inc. is a part of Icom Incorporated. Started in 1954 by Tokuzo Inoue in Osaka, Japan, Icom Inc. is a publicly held Japanese corporation. Icom Inc.’s roots are in designing, engineering, and manufacturing highly advanced, compact solid-state radio equipment for use in the amateur (ham) radio industry. The company’s product line has since expanded to include communications equipment and products based in the marine, avionics, land, mobile and wide-band receiver industries.
