The design for this state-of-the-art beef processing facility began in 2019. Expected to begin operations in early 2025, the plant will more than double Empirical’s ground beef project. KC Engineering provided full service architectural and engineering on this project. Additionally, KCE assisted with piping and clash detection review through Navisworks.

The 280,000 square-foot precast facility has a partial basement and three floors each designed for 400 psf live load. The north and west walls are designed for future expansion phases. KC Engineering worked with the owner and general contractor through schematic design layout options. After finalizing the layout, KCE provided the final construction documents and was engaged in the construction administration.
