Manufacturing expansions demand more than added square footage – they require a builder who understands how structure, systems, equipment, and operations must work together. For Schütz Container Systems, Choate delivered a 109,012-SF expansion of an existing three-bay steel drum facility, adding production space, a material preparation room, new office space, and a recycling building designed to support the company’s growing steel component operations. From the first stake in the ground to final demobilization, Building Performance was central to the project and the work was executed with the precision and reliability that active manufacturing demands.

Technical Infrastructure, Precisely Executed

The project required precise coordination across a technically complex scope. Press pit installation, embed and trench work, crane-supporting structural steel, and tube welder infrastructure each demanded careful layout and sequencing.

MEP coordination, switchgear and transformer integration, and utility tie-ins were managed in parallel with structural milestones to keep the schedule on track.
