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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Up to date: Here’s the latest on WOTUS rule amendment

The Sackett v. EPA Supreme Court decision in May altered the landscape of future Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rulings. Recent amendments, released in late August, brought a little more clarity. Our WOTUS subcommittee has been following these and other ongoing developments for more than three years. Here’s how the latest amendments could affect future solar projects. Learn more.

At the forefront of pile load testing data delivery

Accurate pile load testing (PLT) data can be the catalyst for a more sustainable and cost-effective solar project. Our new, proprietary pile load testing tripod is lighter, more transportable, and changing how we gather this critical data. How can this new PLT system benefit your next solar project? Let’s get to work.
