Puratos Phase II

Puratos Phase II was a multi-year expansion and renovation of Puratos’ Pennsauken, New Jersey manufacturing facility, including a 60,000 SF addition. As Design-Build Construction Manager, Grace Construction coordinated the facility design and construction around the specialized requirements of Puratos’ dry and wet production lines.

Project highlights included:

• Dry Storage Warehouse: Butler Building construction with high-density racking, clear heights up to 40 feet, and full-service loading docks.
• Wetlines Production Facility: Dedicated production and packaging space featuring insulated metal panels and wash-down epoxy flooring designed for a demanding food-production environment.
• Five-Story Precast Drylines Production Tower: A collaborative Design-Build effort between Grace Construction, Oldcastle Precast, Puratos, and Puratos’ Drylines equipment vendor, specifically designed around production equipment and material-handling requirements.
• Site & Infrastructure: New stormwater management, utility upgrades, loading dock and access improvements, storage silo foundations, on-site wastewater treatment, and redundant fire pump and fire service systems.

Grace’s Design-Build approach provided a single point of responsibility for pre-construction, design coordination, equipment integration, site development, and construction, seamlessly integrating the expanded facility with Puratos’ operational requirements.
