Challenge

Development of an SDI Battery Manufacturing Plant, delivering almost 2M SF of manufacturing facility building pad in the project’s first three months.

Solution

Execution of a comprehensive site development, delivering large-scale earthmoving and utility infrastructure to support the advanced industrial expansion. ESW developed, presented, and executed a value engineering proposal that reduced cost, preserved the project schedule, and enhanced pad performance and durability.

Project Scope

E.S. Wagner delivered a comprehensive site development package, including mass earthwork, more than two million square feet of the future facility building pad, a robust stormwater management system, sanitary infrastructure, including a 10-foot-diameter lift station constructed within a 33-foot-deep excavation, and potable and non-potable water distribution across the site. Faced with challenging soil conditions, a late season start, and critical pad delivery milestones, ESW developed a value engineering proposal that modified building pad sections while providing a stabilized surface that allowed for ongoing wintertime vertical construction. In separate contracts for the local municipality, E.S. Wagner also completed transportation, underground utility, and storm drainage infrastructure enhancements necessary for facility function and operation.

“Their technical knowledge and meticulous diligence have been instrumental in maintaining the high production standards our facility is known for. E.S. Wagner consistently identifies process inefficiencies and proposes practical improvements. They possess technical expertise, professional integrity, and people skills to excel in any role…”
