Helping Patrick Cudahy, Inc. Rebuild Following Fire
Patrick Cudahy, the nation's largest meat-packing plant, was severely damaged in a fire in July 2009. We worked with Patrick Cudahy to assess structural damage and assist with the implementation of interim building solutions.
The assessment led to a new 55,000-square-foot expansion that was built on the site of the previously fire-damaged facility. The new industrial construction facility expansion consists of the following:
- dry storage warehouse space
- a food storage cooler
- a forklift charging room
- a connecting corridor
- employee support areas for a USDA-certified food production facility
