Facility Designed for Lithium-Ion Battery Assembly

This project involves the construction of a 5.5 million sq. ft., two-story facility, which features a substantial 2 million sq. ft. mezzanine level. It is designed for the assembly of lithium-ion batteries.

The scope of the project encompasses the construction of the building shell, along with the installation of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) components for Wing 1. Upon completion, the facility is expected to achieve an impressive annual production capacity of approximately 30 gigawatt-hours (GWh).

SourceBlue played a crucial role in informing the design process by leveraging insights into lead times and manufacturer capabilities and constraints. Our team collaborated closely with manufacturers and the owner to facilitate early design adjustments for the substation, running in parallel with fabrication, to ensure alignment with both the intended design and the project schedule. By strategically shadow loading and securing production slots while competing with other manufacturers, we effectively drove the schedule forward. Additionally, through collaborative efforts with manufacturers and the owner, we proactively pre-purchased long-lead electrical and mechanical equipment and components, resulting in delivery a remarkable four months ahead of the requested on-site job (ROJ) dates. Ultimately, SourceBlue delivered exceptional value to the client, yielding a significant $140 million in savings through the provision of value engineering options and by fostering a competitive procurement process.
