Client/Owner: Crown Cork & Seal Company

Location: Nichols, NY

Contact: Stephen Daiute, PE, LEED AP

Description: The project consisted of the core and shell development and infrastructure fit-out for a 375,000 sq ft manufacturing space, 150,000 sq ft warehouse, and 30,000 sq ft of supporting office space. GPI was an integral part of the design team as the scale and production of the facility was unique to the client, which made design interactions between the manufacturing and building engineers pivotal for a successful project. The project was delivered in a turn-key design-build contract for the facility. In addition to the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection system design, GPI had substantial engineering coordination tasks with local utility companies to service the provider's largest consumer of power and gas as well as the town’s largest wastewater connection. Power infrastructure for the facility was designed to handle up to 15,000 kVA.

Client/Owner: Hickok Cole Architects

Location: Sterling, VA

Contact: Lew Brode, PE, LEED AP

Description: GPI provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering design services for a new 156,400 sq ft, single story warehouse structure. The entire building was designed as a SCIF. The vast majority of the new building is conditioned warehouse space utilizing roof top units and fabric ductwork to distribute the air. GPI was tasked with maintaining a 24’ clear space to allow for the equipment in the space operate free from obstructions. A break room and bathrooms were included within the warehouse space. As part of this design, a portion of the space was converted to office space, which included an entrance lobby, pantries and conference rooms. GPI was also tasked with designing new gas service to the building as well as a fire pump and emergency generator.

Client/Owner: Confidential

Location: Not Disclosed

Contact: Stephen Daiute, PE, LEED AP

Description: GPI provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design for a confidential client at two separate locations. The first project required design for a new HVAC system in a 50,000 sq ft warehouse facility. The second project required design of a new HVAC system for a 140,000 sq ft warehouse and nuclear testing facility. The construction of the project was completed in two phases. The warehouse areas in both projects were not previously conditioned and had been heated with gas fired unit heaters. Both systems included humidification and dehumidification capabilities for maintenance of humidity levels year round. Electrical and plumbing systems were modified and updated to support the HVAC systems.
