A massive manufacturing campus is rising in Waller, Texas, about 40 miles northeast of Houston off U.S. 290 and three miles west of State Highway 99. Daikin Industries Ltd., Osaka, Japan, is concurrently expanding, consolidating and relocating the manufacturing and logistics of its Goodman subsidiary to the new campus.
A strategic design-build delivery and preconstruction planning ahead of each phase have been crucial in building the campus, especially when the project required erecting tilt-up wall panels around the entire building and accommodating a “no interior walls” design concept, all while adapting the tight schedule to weather delays.
