Lowe’s Distribution Center

Lowe’s Distribution Center

The new regional distribution center for Lowe’s Companies included the removal of 1.2 million CY’s of rock/dirt in three months in order to start the building construction. The site-work package included three detention ponds, a water tank, stormwater system, sanitary sewer, water, site lighting, roller compacted concrete paving, and a WIMS read-out system for Lowe’s Supply chain team. The 1.4 million sf warehouse was built with loadbearing precast concrete walls, structural steel, and a low shrinkage compensation slab on grade. The warehouse has 237 dock doors, and the office package and transportation center is load-bearing masonry construction. The structural steel was completed in a three-month timeframe from the footing start date. This facility services four states for Lowe’s Companies.
