One year ago (https://myteamengineering.com/project-spotlight-uni-cast/), we helped design a small southern addition to expand the manufacturing space for Uni-Cast in Londonderry, NH. Since then, construction has been completed and their aluminum casting plant continues to thrive.

As the next phase in the project, we have been contracted to design the North Addition, scheduled to begin construction in the next few months. Our services include architectural, structural, and portions of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) design. The new building is over 10,000sf and will offer more manufacturing space as well as new offices for Uni-Cast to continue to grow.

This new building uses multiple types of construction including premanufactured steel frames, concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls, concrete foundations, open web steel bar joists, wide flange beams, and even steel lintels creating entry points from the existing building to the new.

Stay tuned for updates and pictures during and after construction!
