Frampton Construction Co. LLC, a Charleston-based full-service construction firm, has finished the construction of Delta Industrial Park in Gastonia, N.C.
Located on Delta Drive directly off Interstate 85, the park benefits from prominent roadway visibility and easy interstate access, the release stated. The cross-dock building is constructed of concrete tilt walls and structural steel, with a 40-foot clear height, 180 dock positions, and four drive-in doors.
Notable items in the scope of work included the installation of a fire water tank measuring 31 feet in diameter with a capacity of 138,000 gallons, and the construction of a 64-foot retaining wall consisting of approximately 10,000 segmental blocks, the release stated. Frampton also coordinated the complex construction of a new high-voltage transmission tower by Duke Energy.
“We’re very proud of our team and trade partners for delivering this high-quality industrial building,” Joey Smith, vice president of Frampton Construction, said in the release. “The site work on this project was a monumental task unlike any other project. Over one million cubic yards of dirt was moved to get the site pad-ready. The Frampton project team and all of our trade partners worked tirelessly through various challenges and delivered an incredible project.”
Merriman Schmitt Architects completed the design for the building. Thomas & Hutton served as the civil engineer, and JLL is handling leasing. Work on the site began in November 2021 and was completed in June 2023.
