Borg-Warner Automotive
Owner: Borg-Warner Automotive - ATS Division
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Architect: Meacham & Apel Architects
Project Summary:
Borg-Warner Automotive produces high precision transmission parts for the Big Three automakers. Increased sales called for additional production capacity and several new forge and briqueting press pits. Borg-Warner’s total capital improvement costs for the project exceeded $25,000,000.
Roslovic Building Co. completed the 60,000 square foot expansion as well as the press pits and Henry filter system. The project required in-depth technical expertise, particularly with the press pit construction. Extensive vibration analysis was performed, and pits were added within six feet of existing building foundations.
Project Challenges:
-
Extensive pre-construction analyses was completed to determine long-term capacity requirements and address management concerns and needs
-
Highly specialized press pit and filter system construction demanded state-of-the-art building techniques
