KDW completed an 77,000 sf industrial pipe-threading facility for VAM USA in Houston, Texas. The shop is served by a 120' span overhead crane; 3,900 Lft. of embedded I-beams, 2,840 Lft. of grated concrete trenches, and isolated structural foundations for heavy equipment.
Additionally, there is 5,000 sf of built-out office with reception area, offices, conference room, IT room, men's and women's locker rooms with showers, a work shop and an observation room overlooking the shop operations. There is also a 3,000 sf air conditioned maintenance shop and a 5,000 sf pallet rack storage area. Separate facilities are provided for air compressor systems, welding and metal shavings storage as well as chemical storage.
"There was a tremendous amount of coordination done between VAM USA and KDW locating the 1,060 lf of embedded I-Beams and 2,843 L.F. of trenches in the concrete floor which acted as structural supports and MEP raceways for the owner’s equipment.” Clyde Earhart
