Engineering the Future
Carroll Daniel Engineering, formerly O’Neal Inc., provided master planning and engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) services for a $250 million utility-scale transformer manufacturing plant and corporate headquarters for Mitsubishi Electric Power Products (MEPPI) in Memphis, TN.
Building Details
The state-of-the-art facility is 350,000 SF and features a unique product testing and commissioning area, manufacturing, barge and rail access, and employee and customer amenities. The design incorporates sustainable design principles, including glass curtain walls to maximize natural light.
Innovative Interiors
The facility serves as the U.S. Headquarters and includes management and sales offices, client areas, a full-service kitchen and cafeteria, training rooms, a data center, and exercise rooms. The building also features a “Parade Route” viewing area that allows clients to view manufacturing areas.
A Modern Manufacturing Hub
The building is an engineered steel fabricated building with a concrete panel wall system. The high-bay areas are designed with steel sandwich panels extending from the concrete panel to the roof structure. The manufacturing areas have natural light supplied by external and internal windows, including high bay windows to assist with the lighting system. The new facility has unique incoming power requirements both from a load and complexity basis and includes a separate central utilities building.
