Description:
Phase I of this project includes a 120,000-square-foot warehouse and 30,000-square-foot, 2-story office addition. This steel and pre-cast concrete structure features a 30-foot clear height and nearly 2,000 feet of conventional manual-pick forklift racking system, supported by 43 new loading docks.

Notably, the project encompasses nearly 10,000 cubic yards of concrete placement, all of which was self-performed by Panzica. With an average FF of 66, Panzica was more than successful in meeting the floor flatness standard of FF 45 per spec – a commendable achievement.

During phase II, the existing warehouse was renovated to accommodate the new racking and bin system featured in the addition, linking more than 450,000 feet of conveyor belt throughout the facility.

This distribution center, centrally located in Macedonia, Ohio, serves W. W. Grainger warehouses in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Michigan.
