HEI Project Profile - Long

A confidential client’s 1.7‑million‑square‑foot distribution center - originally built in 2000 - just received a major climate‑control upgrade to support employee comfort, increased automation, and stricter product‑handling needs. What started as a simple conditioning project quickly expanded as new equipment loads and operational changes drove the need for a more resilient HVAC and infrastructure strategy. Henderson Building Solutions delivered a design‑build retrofit that replaced the aging, water‑intensive mechanical system with a modern waterless solution - an especially smart move for a dry climate and a win for sustainability. The team boosted HVAC capacity to handle higher thermal loads, improved ventilation paths for better air quality, and coordinated key upgrades to power and natural‑gas distribution so the expanded mechanical systems could operate safely and efficiently. Throughout the evolving design, Henderson worked closely with the owner to maintain budget, schedule, and uptime. Early procurement and flexible engineering kept the project on track, finishing under budget with no major shutdowns or safety incidents. The result: a more stable, energy‑efficient environment that supports employees, protects product quality, and positions the facility for continued growth and automation.
