Camelback Interchange at PV303

Summarize the project's program, features and achievements?

Camelback Interchange is a Class A industrial development in Goodyear, Arizona. The project consists of two buildings totaling 616,100 square feet with each building offering a 36-foot clear height to accommodate a wide range of tenant needs. Overall, 182 panels were constructed featuring 158 dock-high doors and eight drive-in doors to support efficient loading/unloading processes. Additionally, this development incorporated LED lighting and electric vehicle charging stations which aligns with modern sustainability practices and contributed towards the LEED Gold Certification of this project. Lastly, this prime location provides access to major freeways in the area connecting to California, Nevada, and New Mexico, facilitating distribution and operations.

What obstacles were overcome related to the schedule, budget, program, specification, site, etc. on this project?

One of the major challenges during the project was limited access to water for construction use since residential water usage was prioritized during the hot summer months. In response, the team devised an innovative solution by sourcing water from nearby agricultural irrigation tailings. This water was trucked to the site throughout the summer, reducing reliance on potable water and minimizing waste thus contributing significantly to the project's sustainability goals. Additionally, subcontractors were enlisted to source materials that aligned with LEED standards, maximizing the building's sustainable potential.

Please communicate any engineering complexities or unique features of the panel design for this project?

The project called for board form reveal to create a modern architectural design on the exterior of the tilt panels. It was critical that our team achieved and maintained the correct elevation during the application process to ensure precise alignment with any adjacent panels.
