840,000+ sq. ft.of new industrial space designed
5 ground-up buildings delivered, each with distinct operational requirements
296 loading dock bays supported across the campus
ABOUT THE PROJECT
We worked with a confidential global logistics company to design the mechanical and plumbing systems for a new distribution campus in Massachusetts. The client needed facilities that would support high-volume parcel processing, vehicle operations, and employee access while meeting strict safety, ventilation, and reliability requirements. Their goal was to create a functional hub capable of handling daily package throughput and supporting secure, streamlined operations.
OUR SOLUTION
We provided mechanical and plumbing design for five ground-up buildings across the campus. Our work included:
- Designing core mechanical and plumbing infrastructure for an 840,000 sq. ft. distribution center that supports automated conveyor systems and high-volume package movement.
- Implementing ventilation, purge, and gas detection systems in vehicle-loading wings to maintain safe indoor air quality during continuous truck circulation.
- Engineering radiant heating systems for the automotive maintenance building and wash tunnel to provide occupant comfort despite frequent overhead door openings.
- Coordinating plumbing systems for the vehicle wash facility, including water supply, drainage, and connections for third-party wash tunnel equipment.
- Integrating siphonic roof drainage for the distribution center to accommodate long piping runs typical of large industrial structures.
- Designing base building MEP systems for auxiliary buildings, including the maintenance facility, truck wash, guardhouse, and customer entry point.
THE IMPACT
Our design helps the client to operate a high-volume distribution campus with mechanical and plumbing systems that support continuous vehicle movement and protect employee safety across all buildings.
