By Master Builders Solutions.  

We’re taking a step back to look at the most memorable construction projects of 2020.  

2020 will be remembered as one of the most challenging and unforgettable years in modern history. As we look forward, we’d like to appreciate the hard work and accomplishments made within the roofing and construction industries last year. Below we feature five projects that received the Master Builders Solutions “Project of the Year Award” for 2020. These projects were selected on the basis of their uniqueness, application techniques and sustainable construction methods. 

Top five construction system projects of 2020 

1 – Freeze-dried Pet Protein Plant in Nebraska 

This facility specializing in the manufacturing of freeze-dried protein for pet food used Ucrete DP System with Ucrete DP Topcoat to prevent bacteria growth, withstand harsh sanitization, add slip resistance, allow easy cleaning and remain watertight. MasterTop 1234 was also installed in common areas to provide a seamless floor that was aesthetically pleasing, economical and slip resistant. 

2 – YCI Methanol One in St. James, Louisiana 

Located in Louisiana, YCI Methanol One, is a state-of-the-art methanol plant. The facility utilizes a variety of products from Master Builders Solutions, from grout and concrete repair to coatings for applications such as compressors, pumps, foundations, wastewater treatment and a host of other areas. The Master Builders Solutions team also provided training and site support. 

3 – Swaggart Ministries in Baton Rouge, Louisiana 

Built in 1984, Bluebonnet Towers is a 12-story exposed aggregate precast building that began experiencing extensive leaking. The project team examined the damage and found severe concrete deterioration. Master Builders Solutions delivered a wall coatings system, including MasterProtect HB 400 and MasterProtect C 350.
