United Plate Glass Expansion
This design-build project added 21,500 square feet of manufacturing space to United Plate Glass’s Lincolnton, N.C. facility.
The 21,500-square-foot expansion is constructed of concrete tilt wall panels with a 26-foot clear height. Three openings connect the new space with the existing facility. Construction took place while the existing facility remained operational, posing challenging site logistics on a tight schedule.
The construction of a 2,000-square-foot blower/electrical room and 19,500 square feet of open production area made way for a new tempering furnace, three industrial blowers, two washing tables, and three cutting tables, with the overall goal of improving production by at least 50%. United Plate Glass is a fabricator and distributor of custom architectural glass products.
