The building consists of an 138,000 -square-foot footprint, single-story addition to an existing facility.  The preliminary programming for the space consisted of a cross dock facility sharing a common wall. The building dimensions for the warehouse were 390’ x 354’. Bay spacing was 54 feet across the building with speed bays of 60 feet and 6 bays of 54 feet with an end bay of 30 feet which extended the length of the facility. The facility was built adjacent to an existing building and provisions were made in the foundation design to accommodate additional load from the addition.

The building is a 62,000 -square-foot footprint, single-story new warehouse facility developed by Scannell Properties.  The space consists of an L-shaped building with the inner walls of the L designed as loading dock. The outer walls of the L were designed as flex space with entrance features with the opposite wall designed for an entry into flex space. The overall building dimensions out-to-out for the facility are approximately 242’ x 393’. The roof of the building slopes north to south so that the drainage goes to the dock on the south wall and to the entrance feature on the far south wall of the L extension. The minimum clear height requirement to the underside of steel is 24’-0” at the dock. Provisions were made for the building shell to accommodate a future mezzanine at 14’-0” above finished floor.

The project is an expansion of the Toyotetsu America in Somerset, Kentucky. The 126,880 square foot addition is single-story facility that has 80’-0” by 32’-9” bays to support two, new 20 ton cranes. The roof system for the new addition consists of joists and joist girders. Some of the existing building columns needed to be reinforced to support the new roof addition. The project also included adding new Roof Top units, Cooling Towers and Industrial Catwalks in the existing building.

A unique aspect of the project included adding equipment trenches in the existing building for new equipment. The trench foundation supported 88 tons of equipment weight while maintaining a 1/8” construction tolerance.

Also, it was extremely important to maintain the function of the existing industrial building while building the new addition.
