We started the design of the new Main Street Bank, Moundsville Branch in January 2012, and Fast-Tracked the design and construction to be built in the Summer of 2012. This project was successfully completed within a year; the new bank had a Grand Opening Ceremony in October 2012.

Security is a major component of this building. The bank was built around a secured storage vault, which is solid-poured concrete walls with lead lining. This is reinforced, and built for 3-hour burglary resistance, as well as penetration fire stopping. There are tinted and insulated secure-lined glass for the windows, as well as secure doors.

For drainage, we were working on an existing commercial site; therefore, we raised the existing elevation for gravity run-off and designed perimeter storm drainage, and had piping tie-ins to the existing conditions.
