Local Design Considerations in Watertown
For Watertown, building-system design starts with the regional climate. South Dakota has a cold continental climate with long, cold winters and warm summers. In this cold climate, heating capacity, freeze protection of piping, snow and ice loading on roof-mounted equipment, combustion-air and ventilation, roof drainage and building-envelope coordination are important design factors. Heating design dominates, with high heating capacity, freeze protection and balanced summer cooling.
Watertown’s building activity commonly includes warehouses and manufacturing, financial and corporate offices, commercial and multifamily buildings and agriculture and food processing, and our engineering scope is tailored to each project rather than applied from a generic template.
