Amazon Fulfillment Center SJC7 (Prologis IPC 1)

The park’s first building is one of the most advanced of its kind in the United States. Designed for the demands of today’s customers, the facility, located in California, includes a 40-foot clear height and significant vehicle and trailer parking with extended staging lanes. It will be constructed to LEED specifications.

When Prologis embarked on this new development, they once again hired Big-D Construction to build this 1 million square foot speculative building. The construction is comprised of concrete tilt-up exterior walls, hybrid panelized wood roof structure and a single ply roof membrane.

The required clear height and internal roof drains add complexity to the project. The roof drainage system features a siphonic drain system that allows drain lines to run long distance under the floor slab without any slope.

Big-D completed the project in just 8 months.
