The Hamilton Company Clean Room Project was managed by a fantastic team of United Construction professionals that delivered the project under budget and on schedule. Construction of the project was led by Superintendent Nick Crawford and Assistant Superintendent Justin Brunner, Project Manager Robert Felstead, Project Engineer Harlee Annis, Project Administrator Yajaira Medina, Accounts Payable Ariel Mooney, and Preconstruction Project Manager Zach Caron. The Hamilton Company project representative was Brian Slenker who helped lead the project to a successful delivery.

Nick Crawford discloses “This project started with the razing of two older buildings at the site, then the construction of a new 3-story building on a tight land-locked site with an existing drainage channel running beneath it. There were numerous logistical challenges on this site, including lifting 90-ton concrete wall panels with a 330-ton crane on a very tight site, none of which would have been made possible without the great work of our United Construction Team and our local engineers, designers, and subcontractors”.

Michael Russell United Construction CEO adds “Congratulations to our team for obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy for the Hamilton Company Clean Room project! The new 3-story high-tech facility will support and enhance Hamilton’s development, manufacturing, and customization of precision measurement devices, automated liquid handling workstations, and sample management systems business. We are honored and proud to have been selected by Hamilton Company for this important design-build commission, and to deliver this project with Hamilton Company as our third major project working together, previously completing several other site improvements, building, and tenant improvement projects on Hamilton’s campus over the last 10 years. Thank you Hamilton Company for selecting United Construction for this amazing project, and the United Construction project team for achieving this huge project milestone.”

While we’ve worked for Hamilton before, United won the project by providing a competitive budget estimate, beating out a national clean room specialty contractor, who has worked for Hamilton. “We are seeing more owners who want multiple contractors to provide competitive budgets. The new facility featured a competition, and we won the work because we had the best number.”

Paul is collaborating with local architects at FormGrey Studio to design the facility. Architect Kay Radzik, who formerly worked at United, is on the FormGrey team.

“It’s a tough, complicated project,” Paul explains. “We have a lot of challenges with the small site and the logistics of fitting in a tremendous amount of equipment in the given space. We will be working closely with the city to scope the project to meet their parking and landscaping expectations within the one-acre site. It will take some finesse to get this through permitting.”

In 2013 at Hamilton, United delivered a 13,200 sf clean room, which is shown in the image above, and a workshop in an existing warehouse. We have done other tenant improvements at the campus, including the total renovation of their parking lot in 2020. Currently, we have an important roadway project in permitting for Hamilton on Reactor Way.
