The $30 million investment will double the size of the existing facility and is expected to be complete by early 2010. Marking what will be the company's first LEED-certified project, the facility's technology will streamline manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, creating efficiencies that enable it to better serve customers in the surrounding community and across North America.
"Building on a half-century of innovation, Allied's people, products and processes have helped to reshape the tube and conduit industry, and we are proud to celebrate today's expansion in Harvey as a renewed commitment to our employees, customers and the community at large," said Nelda Connors, president Tyco Electrical & Metal Products. "The Harvey community has played a key role in our success, and our investment in this facility not only positions us to better serve our customers, but also to strengthen our roots in the community for years to come."
In addition to technological advancements in warehousing and distribution, the new space will make room for additional capacity and capabilities in Harvey for steel coil slitting, gage reduction, roll forming, threading, product packaging and other secondary operations. It will also improve railroad spur service and inbound and outbound truck loading and traffic lanes, enhancing order fulfillment and processing.
The expansion project also reflects Tyco's commitment to sustainable business practices, meeting enough LEED requirements for new construction to achieve a Silver certification. Most notably, it incorporates sustainable architectural design features, environmentally friendly construction practices and building products and energy-efficient systems that benefit both indoor and outdoor environmental quality. Several eco-sensitive attributes include:
-- Designed and installed high energy efficiency building envelope, heating
and ventilation systems, water heating, power, and equipment systems to
maximize performance with minimum energy usage.
-- Provided measurement and verification systems for continuous monitoring
of cooling load, air/water economizer, and air distribution systems.
-- Met the ASHRAE Indoor Air Quality standards for ventilation with the
HVAC system design.
-- Reduced potable water consumption through water efficient landscape and
low-flow lavatories by 20%.
-- Encouraged utilization of renewable energy sources, by purchasing
Renewable Energy Certificates to offset a percentage of annual building
electricity usage.
-- Diverted construction waste from the landfill by implementing waste
management plan during construction by recycling or salvaging up to 75%
of the construction and demolition waste.
"Since pioneering the process of in-line galvanizing in 1959, Allied has remained dedicated to advancing the industry while saving our customers valuable time and money," added Connors. "In the same spirit on which the company was founded, we'll continue to seek opportunities to improve the quality of our products and services, lower manufacturing costs and build on our trusted global brand."
