Ancon built the new 2,600 square foot Popeyes in Elkhart, Indiana.
Lippert Plant 19 is a 27,500 square foot Metal Building addition to their current powder-coat line. The addition had a “roof overbuild” that extended onto the existing structure. Within the new structure, we had to build a 16’x60’x3’-6” deep pit with heavy steel embeds for the blast booth portion of the powder-coat process. In addition to the main structure, we built a new 2,000 square foot structure to the north side of the existing structure with finished space that included managerial offices, employee breakroom, new bathrooms, and a new employee breakroom.
Imagineering is a 15,000 square foot building addition to their existing facility in South Bend, Indiana. Five thousand square feet is two-story office space and 10,000 square feet of production and storage areas. The office expansion features an employee training room, an administrative office area, and several open office pods organized around team departments. Also included in the project were drainage improvements, additional parking areas, and resurfacing of existing parking areas. The exterior façade features a pattern of windows and vibrant colored metal panels – setting a modern tone for the front portion of the building.
In 2017, Ancon Construction designed and built a new addition for Bennington Marine in Elkhart, IN. The 57,500 square foot addition allowed Bennington to increase production from 50 boats to 55 boats a day. Included in the addition were a new R & D space, added production space, and employee breakroom. The addition was completed without losing one hour of production time. Coordination with the facility manager and timing of milestone phases of the project allowed the existing building to continue production with no shutdown throughout the entire construction phase.
The Norfolk Southern project entailed constructing a new facility to service locomotives and required an intense focus on accuracy. Ancon placed 1,200 anchor bolts to help support the weight of the train engines that were being repaired. After the bolts were placed, our client laser-measured each of them to confirm they were in the correct position. Of the 1,200 anchor bolts set, not one of them was out of line. When it comes to industrial and manufacturing, Design and Build…precision is critical.
