Whirlpool: Distribution Center

Type of Contract – Lump Sum/Design Build

Project Summary

Whirlpool is the world’s leading manufacturer of major home appliances.  To make way for their new 700,000-square-foot distribution center in Marion, Ohio, we demolished the existing 450,000-square-foot building.  We crushed the old structure’s concrete, which generated 12,000 tons of 304 to use as the sub-base.  We also installed over 13,000 linear feet of water, storm and sanitary sewer lines.

This is the 11th project that real estate developer Pizzuti has taken on for Whirlpool.  According to one of the Pizzuti executives they chose us because:

“(Kelchner has the) solutions to complex problems. (They) also, have the willingness to go above and beyond to maintain schedule and not nickel and dime us for changes.”
