Industrial Construction
Baking Ingredient Production Facility
Cedar Rapids, IowaThe Baking Ingredient Production Facility is nearly 100,000 sf food grade yeast extract manufacturing facility. Besides production,the facility includes administrative offices, warehouse space, shipping and receiving, and maintenance and parts storage space. Due to the volume of hazardous materials, portions of the building were classified as H-4 High Hazard Group Occupancy.
Carl A. Nelson & Co. led the design-build team for this project. Our scope included design and construction of the entire facility except for the process and building electrical design, process equipment selection, and procurement. Carl A. Nelson & Co. self-performed the overall management of the project including design coordination between the disciplines, cost control, schedule management, site supervision, site safety management, site layout, substructure and superstructure concrete work, concrete flatwork, steel and precast concrete erection, metal panel erection, rough and finish carpentry, metal studs and drywall. The work we self-performed represented 54% of the work on this project.
All the architectural and structural drawings were produced in a Revit Building Information Model (BIM). Integrated into the Revit model included the building mechanical drawings, produced in 3D AutoCAD, and the process piping layout completed by the owner. Interference checking was completed in the model for coordination purposes.
