WRAP THE EQUIPMENT
Engineering the future
of protein production
Step into a new era of construction with Summits revolutionary Wrap-The-Equipment (WTE) design. By ingeniously using your aviary equipment to support the building’s structure, we unlock a cascade of advantages.
From lower initial costs and accelerated timelines to improved air quality and reduced bio-security risks, the “inside-out” design of WTE delivers a building that’s not just built, but intelligently integrated.
Explore the sections below to delve deeper into each of these advantages and understand how Summit’s WTE design provides a smarter, more efficient, and more reliable solution for your agricultural building needs.

THE WRAP-THE-EQUIPMENT ADVANTAGE
FINANCIAL
-
- LOWER INITIAL COST: Comparable to wood-framed buildings and significantly less than traditional pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs)
- GREATER SAVINGS DURING HIGH STEEL PRICES: Less steel is used, leading to increased savings when steel market prices are high.
- COST SAVINGS WITH LOWER EAVE HEIGHT: A lower roofline reduces costs associated with the roof system, increasing per-bird savings compared to steel buildings.
Expedited Schedule
-
- 30% FASTER CONSTRUCTION: Eliminating the building shell as a separate phase removes a major bottleneck.
- EFFICIENT SCALING OF LABOR: Construction phases can overlap, allowing for a larger workforce and faster completion.
- EIGHT WEEKS SOONER TO MARKET: Reduced construction time translates to earlier product sales and increased profit potential (e.g., nearly 17 million more eggs in eight weeks for a 378,000 birdhouse).
Benefits Over Traditional Buildings
-
- IMPROVED AIR QUALITY: Truss-free design and airtight insulated panels allow for precise airflow management, reducing harmful gases and promoting dry waste.
- REDUCED BIO-SECURITY RISKS: Eliminates wild bird nesting areas and spaces for rodents, and the non-porous materials allow for effective sterilization.
- ELIMINATION OF POROUS CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS: Reduces the risk of pathogens living in the building structure.
- INCREASED TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Thick insulated panels provide better protection against extreme temperatures, leading to more consistent egg production and reduced bird loss.
Longevity & Structural Integrity
-
- DURABLE STAINLESS STEEL ROOST SYSTEM: Roost equipment serves as a key structural component, made from single pieces of stainless steel for longevity.
- ENHANCED STRUCTURAL STABILITY: Strategic bracing and diagonal rod braces distribute weight and withstand strong winds.
- MINIMIZED RUST ISSUES: Designed to last over 20 years, reducing problems associated with rust in conventional designs.
