The 5,201 square foot ground-up expansion includes elaborate site work involving building components such as masonry, concrete, steel, specialty coatings, roofing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire sprinkler systems and finishes, in addition to specialty testing equipment. As the General Contractor for the project, Agate worked alongside the project’s architect, John Helmut, and Pearson Engineering to provide value engineering services, extensive site logistics planning and scheduling, and a comprehensive project-specific safety plan. The project is expected to be completed in 11 months.

The project will be an addition, as well as remodel, to the existing corrosion testing facility that will be executed via a detailed and time sensitive phasing schedule to ensure continued operations of the existing testing facility.

“The expansion of the auto manufacturer’s corrosion testing facility represents another milestone in our decades-long partnership managing more than twenty construction projects across their Arizona campus,” said Lou Primak, principal, and COO at Agate Construction. “Our extensive track record with the automaker is a testament to the strong relationship we’ve built over the years. We are proud to be entrusted once again as the general contractor for this significant project.”
