Coca-Cola Warehouse/Distribution Center
Monmouth Junction, New Jersey
226,000 sf

In 2011, to achieve its goals for strategic growth, Coca-Cola Refreshments consolidated multiple facilities into a new 226,000 square foot distribution center. With proximity to major interstate highways and access to the seaports, the facility reinforces the increasing industrial activity in the regional market.

As a LEED Silver certified building, the new facility also aligns with the company’s corporate values of sustainability. Insulated precast wall panels improve the thermal performance of the building envelope and required less time and energy for construction.

WCx provided commissioning services under LEED 2009 for New Construction. Systems commissioned included HVAC, building automation, lighting controls, plumbing and domestic hot water systems, fire sprinkler and a rooftop photovoltaic array.

 
Procter & Gamble Distribution Center
Shippensburg, Pennsylvania
1.7 million sf

This project involved construction of a new, $93 Million, build-to-suit warehouse facility in Shippensburg, PA, along the Interstate 81 corridor in Southampton Township. The project site encompassed 183 acres. The structure, conventional steel with tilt-up concrete, was built in six distinct pods during the course of construction.

The combination of easy access to major regional highways, the presence of an advanced rail network and the proximity of the I-81 corridor to major East Coast metropolitan areas made the site attractive to Procter & Gamble. Once fully operational, the center will bring employment of four to six Procter & Gamble managers and about 950 contracted workers to the area.

The project team incorporated principles of sustainable design and construction into the project, and has targeted LEED 2009 for New Construction certification at the Silver level.

WCx commissioned the following systems as part of the project: gas-fired rooftop heating and ventilating units and their controls, rooftop exhaust fans and controls, over 200 motorized louvers, integration of fire alarm shunt trip controls, test and balance verification, parallel electric gear, transfer switching, verification of electrical coordination study and trip settings, lighting control system and domestic water system, including all thermostatic mixing valves.

 
Ports Jersey City Distribution Center
Jersey City, New Jersey
878,000 sf

Known as Prologis Pulaski Distribution Center, this facility at the former Superfund clean-up site has leases with two customers. International retailing group Ahold occupies 345,000 square feet, and Imperial Bag & Paper Company, a wholesale packaging distributor, occupies 395,000 square feet at the complex. There is an additional 140,000-square-foot space that is also part of the development. The remainder of the park was converted to green space. Prologis Pulaski Distribution Center is strategically located near the Pulaski Skyway, four miles from the Port of New York/New Jersey and about three miles from both New York City and the New Jersey Turnpike.

Extensive environmental clean up work was completed at the site prior to construction under the supervision of state and federal regulatory agencies. Since acquiring the site in 2008, Prologis worked in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to implement a development plan that returned the site to productive use and resulted in permanent capping and closure of the landfill. The project embraced and incorporated principles of sustainable design and construction, and has a goal of LEED 2009 for Core & Shell certification per the requirements of the USGBC.

The MEP systems were design-build. Core & Shell systems commissioned by WCx included all HVAC systems, equipment and controls, air test and balance verification, lighting controls and domestic hot water heating systems. WCx was also hired by the project team to commission the lighting controls for the Imperial Bag & Paper tenant fitout project.
