At Austin Mohawk, our prefabricated product lines offer exceptional design flexibility. Using our standard aluminum extrusion system, we create custom solutions for a wide array of needs — from bus shelters and guard booths to press boxes, windscreens, and vestibules.

With the extensive list of applications, we are typically able to keep costs lower than competitors and field-built alternatives.

Case Study: Custom DOT Facility Vestibule

We custom designed the vestibule shown in the photo for a DOT facility in Massachusetts. Our designers created it using the same basic materials found in a standard bus shelter. It showcases our versatility in action:

Enhanced Security & Weather Protection — Provides an extra layer of security and weather protection for people entering or leaving the building.

Engineering Excellence — Features a specially designed, PE-stamped peaked roof built to withstand heavy snow loads.

Customized Aesthetics — Its roofing material is a specific color match to match the building's roof. Its tinted privacy glass improves security and the vestibule's appearance.

Adaptable When Plans Change

This project highlights our flexibility during unexpected changes halfway through a project.

A last-minute increase to the height of the door on the building created a clearance issue for the original design of this vestibule. The vestibule was already fabricated and was not tall enough to clear the height of the door on the building. Our Engineering and Fabrication teams quickly developed a seamless retrofit solution.

They increased the height of the vestibule and made it look like it was part of the original design intent. The extra section of material above the glass and below the roof was all it took to modify this vestibule to be a perfect fit.

It was another demonstration of our commitment to adaptation and problem-solving from project start to finish.
