NAPA Auto Parts Balkamp Distribution Center Expansion

This 282,500 square foot distribution facility is located on 13 acres directly adjacent to NAPA Balkamp’s existing facility. The new facility will tie into the existing warehouse, creating a larger building to meet increased demand. These tie-ins were highly coordinated, as they included several punch-through aisles and pass-throughs of the existing conveyor system. JE Dunn worked extensively with NAPA to ensure ongoing distribution operations continued undisturbed throughout construction.

This tilt-up facility is 54 feet tall and includes a significant amount of new material handling equipment and systems to automate NAPA’s pick-pack-ship modules. Upgrades to the sprinkler system across the existing building were also included, along with a new generator and a small customer support area with offices and restrooms. Within the existing facility, JE Dunn ensured the roof was sufficiently supported with snow loads and re-work approximately 75,000 square feet of seven-inch concrete slab to a floor flatness of F100.
