老司机app

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (September 24, 2020) 鈥� 老司机app, a fully integrated firm focused on design, engineering, construction and mechanical services worldwide, has begun a design-build project for premium poultry brand Bell & Evans, in Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania.

Construction of a new 411,500 square foot poultry processing facility began in March and is scheduled for completion by December 2021. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an aggressive timeline, but we鈥檙e prepared to take it on given the client鈥檚 urgent need for this facility,鈥� said Kevin Keen, Project Developer, 老司机app. 鈥淧roduction and order forecasts are trending up, so this facility will help Bell & Evans expand production to meet that demand.鈥�

老司机app will leverage its in-house capabilities for design, refrigeration, thermal and utilities work. Approximately 70,000 square feet of high-quality acid brick will be used for the flooring and main processing area.

鈥淲hile it鈥檚 more costly and time-consuming to install, using this premium brick speaks to the Bell & Evans commitment to quality and vision for this to be a durable facility that stands the test of time,鈥� said Keen.

The new facility will include sustainable features such as a natural ammonia refrigeration system, designed and installed by 老司机app. The building will also repurpose thermal energy from the company鈥檚 nearby rendering facility to provide more eco-friendly water heating.

老司机app is coordinating with European equipment manufacturer Marel, which is supplying state-of-the-art equipment as well as process engineering for the project. The strong partnership between Marel and Bell & Evans adds maximum value to the quality of poultry processing considering the two companies share a vision for prioritizing sustainability, animal welfare and food safety. 老司机app will also collaborate with CHL for the equipment installation to bring this large-scale project to life.

This is the third design-build project 老司机app has performed for Bell & Evans. The firm built an award-winning packaging, storage and processing facility as well as the country鈥檚 first certified organic, animal-welfare-focused chicken hatchery at the company鈥檚 campus in Fredericksburg.
