Project Highlights

  •  Existing warehouse space was upfit with a material handling system requiring six new electrical distribution panels.
  •  A three story automation mezzanine required high light levels and occupancy control to accommodate various operational conditions.
  •  Two-story office areas within the existing warehouse provide working space for on-site office personnel.
  •  Conditioned fine wine storage area required the rework of existing lights and fire alarm devices to accommodate new multilevel racking.
  •  A 6,000 square foot keg cooler was designed and installed to accommodate multilevel racking and loading of kegs by forklift.
  •  New dock levelers were provided for some of the more than 120 roll up loading dock doors at the facility.
  •  Existing cardboard balers and fork lift battery chargers from another location were coordinated to be installed in the new space.
  •  New fabric ducts provided on conveyor mezzanines for HVAC required careful coordination with new light fixtures to avoid shadowing.
  •  Three existing electrical services from the electric utility provider were researched and load balanced for the new electrical infrastructure.
  •  A new UPS system was designed and integrated with the existing on-site electrical generator to provide power for the client's critical loads and network/security infrastructure.
