NAPA Auto Parts

Balkamp Distribution Center Expansion

This 282,500 SF distribution facility is located on 13 acres directly adjacent to NAPA Balkamp’s existing facility. Once construction is complete, the new facility will tie into the existing, creating a larger building to meet increased demand. These tie-ins will be highly coordinated, as they will include several punch-through aisles and pass-throughs of the existing conveyor system. JE Dunn worked extensively with NAPA to ensure ongoing distribution operations will continue undisturbed throughout construction.

The new, tilt-up facility is 54 feet tall and will include a significant amount of new material handling equipment and systems to automate NAPA’s pick-pack-ship modules. Within the existing facility, a new AutoStore robotic storage and retrieval system will be added that will increase processing efficiency. This system requires re-work of approximately 75,000 SF of seven-inch concrete slab to a floor flatness of F100. The new facility will contain a more traditional ASRS system, as well as vertical lift modules, and additional storage.

Upgrades to the sprinkler system across the existing building are also included, along with a new generator and a small customer support area with offices and restrooms. Within the existing facility, JE Dunn will also ensure the roof is sufficiently supported with snow loads.
