Cooper Industries Technology Overview

  • Cooper was looking for a design/build company that could deliver its project on time and within budget while providing high-end finishes, complicated product displays (including a mock power line running inside the building) and high-tech theatrical lighting, while maintaining an industrial feel.
  • KDW installed nine-foot ceilings, aluminum doors and sidelights.
  • The office flooring is a combination of VCT, carpet and ceramic tile.
  • The entire facility features various types of lighting and light fixtures to create a well-lit office environment, showroom, training facility and a place to entertain customers.
  • The entryway boasts a "History of Cooper" area with artifacts on display, and a wall dedicated to the history of Cooper Industries.
  • The lighting room has a split ceiling with ceiling tiles in the front to display Cooper's commercial line of light fixtures, and bar joists in the back to display their warehouse/industrial line of light fixtures.
  • A 32-circuit controller was added to all fixtures.
  • The auditorium features raised seating and circular tables for presentations. The room has 24-foot-wide coiling doors that open to the Vignette.
  • Phase III of the project consisted of 11,500 SF of display area for all Cooper divisions in various industrial applications.
  • The display is a full-size mock-up of a chemical plant with five areas of themes to display products.
  • The warehouse/assembly area has diamond hard flooring.
  • Due diligence design and permitting were completed in six weeks. Construction was completed in 2.5 months.

When Goya realized the need for a large facility capable of heavy production, we knew KDW would be our designs/builder and Houston would be our home. This is our second project in 6 years with KDW and the Goya team considers the KDW team part of our extended family."

People make the company.  The folks at KDW are talented, professional, friendly, and second to none.  In spite of the full book of business they keep, I never once felt like my calls were ignored, rushed, or unimportant.  Architects, project managers, superintendents.....they were all top-notch.  Our design/build experience with KDW exceeded all our expectations.
