Featured Projects

National Museum

World War II

New Orleans, LA

 

Products Used: Aluminum Dovetail used for handrails and ceiling grilles

When Architect/Engineer Voorsanger Mathes LLC secured their design plans for the new WWII museum in New Orleans, they partnered with us to make their breakthrough design a reality. Our team produced a number of metal features using specific metallic silver and battleship gray colors to fit the museum’s brand and achieve the interior design. We developed custom ceiling grilles and aluminum dovetail handrail infilling to ensure the National World War II Museum did justice to our fallen soldiers.

Big River

Crossing

Memphis, TN

 

The Big River Crossing is the country's longest active bridge for rail, bicycles and pedestrians. This mile-long engineering feat provides residents new opportunities for recreation and fitness with a stunning view. In partnership with the City of Memphis, OGI provided a combined 124,000 square feet of materials to construct the walkway deck, fence and handrails to make this Mississippi river crossing a reality.

LeMay Wastewater

Treatment Plant

St. Louis, Missouri

 

Products Used: Aluminum Swaged Grating

The SmithGroup architects needed sleek, reliable aluminum gratings to achieve their innovative new design on Mesa Community College’s campus. OGI partnered with the firm to supply approximately 1,168 square feet of LEED aluminum grating for scrims at the planetarium, staircases and a walkable observation platform. The Physical Science building is the first of its kind on campus and was the first major LEED project in the Maricopa County Community College District.
