Retrofit your warehouse space to meet current needs

As your requirements grow and evolve, our logistics professionals have a large suite of services to help take your built facility where it needs to go. Whether you’ve had your warehouse for years or just acquired a new facility, we can make that property meet your specifications. Let’s get started.

Get the full picture first

Understanding a facility’s condition before you buy it gives you peace of mind that you’ve made a sound investment. When a logistics client had questions about whether to invest in an unused warehouse, Terracon facilities experts assessed the building using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to provide 2D and 3D models. Both methods detected deflection in the wall panels, with possible water ponding on the roof above. Providing these two data sets in the same scope of work eliminated the need (and cost) of additional testing and gave the client a holistic view of the challenges to help them make informed decisions.

Building health covered – from top to bottom

Roof Assessments. One of the biggest assets at any facility, roofing keeps the elements out while protecting everyone and everything inside. Make sure concerns about your facility’s roof won’t hang over your head. Learn more.
Structural Assessment. A facilities condition assessment (FCA) gives a clear picture of where a facility is, making it easier to develop a plan for getting it where it needs to be. Here’s how.
Pavement Solutions Pavement might be an even larger asset than the roof. Our Pavement Technology Solutions can help set up a long-term pavement maintenance plan based on data – not speculation. Find out how.

OLATHE, Kan. – Terracon, an employee-owned firm with a long history of providing excellence in engineering consulting services, announces it has been recognized with a 2023 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Phoenix Award for the SeaPoint Industrial Terminal Complex project in Savannah, Georgia. The awards were presented to practitioners for projects that reflect the progression of brownfield redevelopment at the recent National Brownfields Training Conference (Brownfields 2023) in Detroit. The National Brownfields Training Conference brings together stakeholders from government, industry, and the community to share knowledge and best practices on the remediation and redevelopment of contaminated properties, known as brownfields. The conference’s goal was to promote the cleanup and revitalization of contaminated sites across the United States. “Terracon is pleased to be recognized for the outstanding work we’re contributing to sustainable development,” said Belinda Richard, Senior Principal and National Manager of Terracon’s Brownfields Program. “The SeaPoint project, a manufacturing and logistics hub with deep-water river access, Class I rail, and highway connections, was completed two years ahead of schedule and a few million under budget so we’re honored to have our rigorous effort recognized.” Innovators in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Brownfields program since 1995, Terracon has been a part of more Phoenix Award-winning teams than any other consultant in the United States. Terracon’s knowledgeable team combines reconstruction with environmental remedy and has now received 17 Phoenix Awards.
