Commercial Project:
Vaughan Equipment Inc. | Diesel Equipment Repair Shop
Fairfield, Illinois
Project Overview:
When a company known for servicing diesel equipment needed a building upgrade, they turned to a name they already trusted – Walters Buildings.
For years, Walters had relied on Vaughan Equipment Inc. to keep its own fleet and machinery running smoothly. So when Vaughan decided it was time to build a new, high-performance diesel repair facility in Fairfield, Illinois, they knew exactly who to trust with the project.
The Buildings:
The new 81′ x 148′ x 18′ post-frame diesel repair shop was engineered for heavy-duty performance, accessibility, and long-term value. It features five drive-thru service bays, each designed to accommodate large diesel trucks and heavy equipment with ease. Inside, the building includes a steel liner package for easy cleaning and insulation throughout year-round comfort.
Beyond the work bays, the facility includes bathrooms, a wash bay with plastic lining, a dedicated parts bay, and additional storage, including an exposed side bay for overflow space. The main entrance, accented by a 16′ x 12′ gabled porch, gives the building a professional and welcoming front that reflects the strength of the business behind it.
Built with beige 28-gauge G-90 steel panels and black trim, this post-frame structure exemplifies Walters’ craftsmanship, combining industrial-grade performance with polished aesthetics.
