Foam plant manufacturing expansion and office addition

Brindley Construction is no stranger to tight building schedules and the manufacturing expansion at Johnson Controls is a perfect example. The project included an 80-foot by 600-foot addition to increase the manufacturing floor at the plant as well as a 16,000-square-foot office and cafeteria addition.

Other project requirements were the installation of a new roof drain system, the pouring of concrete sidewalks and a parking lot. All this had to be completed without any loss of production time at the fully-functioning plant and within an extremely tight construction schedule of just 155 days. This project was awarded the 2003 National Eagle Award for Excellence in Construction for Industrial Projects $2–$5 Million by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC).

“The most amazing thing is that there was no lost production time.” - Roy Strubel, Plant Engineer
