The new site consists of two buildings totaling 95,000 SF for manufacturing and testing oil drill rigs. The manufacturing building is serviced by fourteen overhead cranes and includes an employee welfare area, mezzanine offices, a fabrication shop, a parts storage area and twenty assembly bays. The testing building consists of a two-story office/shop for both employees and visitor viewing, six test bays with a dedicated electrical substation, a wash bay and a fluids/lubrication shop.
"It was a great experience to work with ARCO on the AFGlobal Campus located at the Waller Industrial Park. ARCO sets the bar high when it comes to design-build. We look forward to continuing to grow a great working relationship with Eric, John and the ARCO team," said Jason R. Smith, Business Development Director for Archway Properties.
