Project

L.R. Costanzo integrated this distribution expansion seamlessly into MTF’s existing production and administrative facility, which centralized MTF’s on-site shipping and receiving operations. This pre-fabricated metal structure, which is supported by a slab-on-grade foundation, uses structural steel to accommodate the new mechanical mezzanine’s current load as well as future expansion to its capacity.

Challenges

  • Adjacent to active production areas
  • Maintain access to existing operations

Solutions

  • Isolation plans and engineering controls
  • Continuous active communication with site engineers

Construction Details

L.R. Costanzo experts coordinated, scheduled, and constructed:

  • Packaging and labeling areas
  • LYO suite
  • Inventory tracking systems
  • Administrative and break areas
  • Shipping bay
  • Pre-engineered/fabricated metal structure
  • Doubled the size of the existing mechanical room and boiler system
  • Installed two air handlers to support expansion
