230,000 SFThe challenge
As part of an ongoing expansion, Procter & Gamble engaged Alberici as construction manager for Project Terminus, adding a new office building and warehouse to its 17-acre manufacturing campus in St. Louis. The two-story, 40,000 SF office building provides permanent space for employees who had been working in temporary trailers, while the 190,000 SF warehouse allows P&G to store Cascade products manufactured at the campus on-site.
Construction took place within tight spaces adjacent to active facilities, requiring detailed sequencing of work, equipment and deliveries to prevent disruptions to P&G’s ongoing operations. The site’s Class F soil also presented a major engineering challenge because it was unsuitable for the buildings’ seismic loading requirements.
Key Facts
230,000 SF combined office and warehouse expansion
Five-year projected return on investment through reduced transportation and off-site storage costs
25% minority- and women-owned business enterprise participation
Challenge met
Alberici used its Lean Edge practice and an Integrated Form of Agreement to strengthen collaboration among P&G, Miller Valentine, PayneCrest Electric and the project team. Detailed sequencing of construction activities and deliveries allowed work to progress within tight spaces near existing facilities without disrupting manufacturing operations.
To address Class F soils that were unsuitable for the buildings’ seismic loads, Alberici worked with the design team to evaluate and price multiple foundation options. The team selected a drilled pier and grade beam system that provided a safe, cost-effective solution.
Alberici also hosted a town hall for minority- and women-owned businesses, helping the project achieve 25% MWBE participation. The team earned a “Solid 8” on P&G’s nine-point safety audit and completed the project with no recordable or lost-time incidents. The new warehouse also eliminated recurring off-site storage and transportation costs, with the investment projected to pay for itself within five years.
