Gambro (COBE) Labs 1201

Saunders work for Gambro-COBE first began in 1992.  Our partnership approach has been key to our long term relationship.

1201 Addition

Serving as the new central mechanical plant to support the cleanroom assembly areas, the 2-story addition required relocation of existing boilers and chillers and installation of new equipment.  It houses hot water and compressed air systems on the second floor and a chilled water system on the first floor.  The high-bay warehouse has a 50-feet clear height to accommodate a sophisticated automated storage and retrieval system.

Phases 1, 2 and 3 Remodels

A structural steel mezzanine was created inside the existing central building as well as additional office space.  A new mechanical system using chilled water, boilers, and HVAC units were installed.  A 10,000 s.f. kitchen and cafeteria were added to the facility.  The corporate offices, conference rooms and the light manufacturing and assembly areas were remodeled.  The manufacturing area was retrofitted with 20,000 s.f. of ESP flooring.  Work on all three phases was further broken down by section so that specific groups of personnel could be relocated upon completion.

Bear Creek WPCP Expansion

Expanding the City of Hampton’s wastewater treatment capabilities, this brand new facility includes a new influent pump station, headworks structure with grit equipment and mechanical barscreen, aeration basin, clarifiers, ultraviolet disinfection and post aeration structure, RAS/WAS pump station, digesters, dewatering and maintenance building, lab/administration  building, process piping, electrical and instrumentation. Once the new facility is operational, their existing facility will be de-commissioned and demolished.

Fred's, Inc. Distribution Center

This Concrete tilt-up distribution center features ceiling supported accumulation conveyors, ground supported conveyors, support mezzanines, storage racks, shipping and receiving docks, aerosol storage rooms and air-conditioned chocolate storage. The office area is approximately 15,000 SF. The site has approximately 500 trailer spaces, 400 parking spaces, loading docks, shipping docks, a guardhouse and a truck court.

Yamaha Motor Corporation

This expansion to Yamaha’s existing facility consists of a two story office addition (40,00 SF), warehouse space (200,000 SF), and an outdoor storage building (10,000 SF) consists of a structural steel frame with insulated precast panels as an exterior skin, a TPO roof system, an ESFR sprinkler system and a sitework package that includes approximately 65,000 CY of dirt to be removed from the site.

Universal Alloy

A leader in the design and mill production of aircraft extrusions, repeat client Universal Alloy has constructed a 104,000 aluminum extrusion tempering plant, later adding an 84,000 SF addition. The facility is constructed of structural steel on 80’ x 80’ bays of tilt-up exterior and single ply ballasted roof. The warehouse features two 50’ x 10’ dry-and-rise extrusion pits, four cranes totaling 80 tons, and the largest horizontal extrusion press in the world.

Texas Instruments DMOS Phase II

Texas Instruments, Inc. DMOS 5, Phase II, includes the construction of a three-story Computer Wafer Fabrication facility. The building is designed around a 65,000 SF clean room with support area of 455,000 SF for systems servicing the clean room function. Additionally, a five-story Administration Building of 120,000 SF was required for the administrative functions of the clean room. Also included is a chemical dock and a deionized water building.

This complex, totaling 650,000 SF is connected to an existing operating clean room facility – DMOS 5 Phase I and required a 12-month construction schedule. DMOS 5 Phase II is an addition to Phase I, which was also completed by Rogers-O’Brien.

Wm. W. Meyer & Sons

Krusinski Construction Company’s client Wm. W. Meyer manufactures dry bulk material processing equipment, pneumatic conveyors, dust collectors, insulation blowing machines and vacuum collection systems. This operation requires 120 different machines, all with different electrical requirements. When designing their new facility, Krusinski brought in an outside electrical consultant to provide fixed estimates and a 16-page electrical plan. As a result the new facility was not only completed on time, but also incorporated a number of energy-saving ideas.

Coors Brewing Company, Golden Distribution Center

Saunders Construction completed this new, single story, 276,000 s.f. distribution center for Coors in just seven months. The facility was constructed with the thermally superior ‘Thermomass” tilt-up insulation system. With 262,700 s.f. of refrigerated storage, not only is it the largest of its kind in Colorado, but the project has the heaviest concrete tilt-up panel ever erected in the State. The center has 41 truck docks, 4 rail doors, and allows Coors the flexibility to streamline its distribution process so that products can be delivered more quickly to its suppliers.

Aviall Headquarters and Distribution

Winner of an ABC Excellence in Construction Award, this immense building includes a data center, warehouse distribution area, manufacturing and shop area and hazardous material storage.

The exterior of the building includes 9¼ concrete tilt-wall panels, punched openings and a two-story curtain wall system. A unique architectural touch, freestanding concrete columns adorn the front of the building, supporting concrete spandrel panels with exterior ribbon glass. The project also included approximately 200,000 SF of concrete parking and loading docks as well as fully landscaped lawn areas.

Rogers-O’Brien surmounted numerous obstacles during the course of this project, including development of new infrastructure, design of hazardous materials storage rooms and meeting the owner’s requirement of early completion of the data center. St. Jude

BAX Global Logistics

Krusinski Construction Company was hired by AMB Property Corporation to work with tenant, BAX Logistics on a Chicago-based industrial warehouse.  It was essential that BAX Logistics be located near O’Hare to have  access to Interstate 90. Unfortunately, there were no vacant sites available near O’Hare. There were also no existing structures that met the tenant’s specific needs.  As a result, AMB decided to demolish an existing structure located in the desired vicinity. Construction of the domestic and international facilities included: clearing the site, re-engineering the existing utilities, extending a feeder street and installing a storm water trap system underneath the parking lot.
