PAN PEPIN DISTRIBUTION

Project Overview

• Two phase design-build approach. 

•  1.1MM dollar 5,793 sf distribution center for one the islands largest food distributors, V. Fernandez/ Pan Pepin, Inc. in 13 months.

• Fast track / turnkey approach

The scope of work consisted of a fast track / turnkey approach to complete the design and construction of a 5,793 sf Distribution Center including loading dock, storage, office, truck maintenance facilities and parking areas for the 22 delivery routes on the south-east part of the island.

The work required the design and construction of a 4,500 sf distribution center facility and an approximately 1,500 sf of mechanical workshops for the vehicle fleet maintenance. The buildings will be built using a reinforced concrete foundation system, coupled with a steel deck and joist system for the superstructure. A new 1,500 gallon cistern with pumps and controls together with a 150kva generator were incorporated.
The building also includes access control points, security cameras and integrated fire alarm system. Although not LEED Certified, multiple energy conservation methods were used, including natural ventilation, lighting controls, water conservation and material recycling.
