Overview

Overview

High-throughput multi-zone cold distribution engineered on an accelerated build schedule.

Turnkey general contracting and construction management for an 850,000 sq ft temperature-controlled distribution center designed for rapid material handling and multi-zone refrigeration ranging from -20°F to +45°F. The facility required high-tolerance super-flat concrete flooring (FF 75 / FL 60) and heavy-duty structural steel framing across an aggressive 10-month delivery schedule.

Site conditions required extensive soil stabilization with lime-cement amendment across 45 acres of clay soils before pad construction could begin. The building envelope demanded continuous thermal envelope integrity, vapor barrier sealing, and sub-slab glycol heating loops to prevent frost heave in freezer zones.

Our Strategy

Our Strategy

4D BIM clash coordination synchronized with real-time concrete maturity monitoring.

Implemented continuous 4D BIM clash detection across refrigeration, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection trades prior to site mobilization. This digital pre-construction workflow enabled off-site pre-assembly of refrigeration piping racks and automated high-bay racking systems before floor slabs were poured.

Pour sequencing utilized laser-guided screeds operating with real-time wireless maturity sensor telemetry embedded directly into slab sections. By monitoring real-time in-situ compressive strength rather than relying solely on traditional laboratory cylinder breaks, field teams stripped forms and allowed early trade access days ahead of typical curing schedules.

Our Strategy

Our Strategy

Super-flat floor certification and digital pre-fabrication deliver early tenant access.

Synchronized multi-trade execution eliminated rough-in collisions and allowed racking system installers early access to finished bays, meeting critical pre-holiday commissioning deadlines.

Concrete slabs certified to specified high-tolerance super-flat ratings. MEP field clashes resolved digitally before trade fabrication. Accelerated handover prior to initial facility inventory load-in.

Biocontainment labs leave zero margin for error with air balance and utility clearances. By prefabricating multi-service corridor racks off-site and validating the overhead plenum with LiDAR scans, they eliminated on-site congestion and passed our BSL-3 environmental certification on the very first pass.
