Project Overview
The FedEx Ground offsite lot project in Charlotte, NC, represents a significant investment in infrastructure, designed to enhance operational efficiency for FedEx's logistics network. Spanning 16 acres, this facility is specifically tailored to accommodate the needs of tractor/trailer operations within the Charlotte Hub.
With a total project value of $5.5 million, Kendale's meticulous planning and execution ensured that the lot was completed on schedule, even in the face of challenging weather conditions. This project not only supports FedEx's logistics but also showcases Kendale's capability to deliver large-scale construction projects effectively.
Key Project Features
The construction of the FedEx Ground offsite lot included several critical features that enhance its functionality and safety. Among these are 100,000 cubic yards of imported fill, a robust 20,000 square foot retaining wall, and extensive access control and security measures tailored to the operational needs of FedEx.
Additionally, the project involved the widening of the Department of Transportation roadway and the relocation of utility services from Duke Energy and AT&T. These features not only improve the lot's accessibility but also ensure that it meets the rigorous standards required for a high-traffic logistics hub.
Engineering Innovations
Kendale's approach to the FedEx Ground project incorporated innovative engineering solutions that resulted in significant cost savings for the client. By leveraging advanced construction techniques and materials, the team was able to optimize the project’s design while maintaining safety and compliance with local regulations.
