Bow, NH – Exel Inc’s new 243,500-sf warehouse/distribution center located at 683 Route 3A in Bow is beginning to take shape. Exel will provide warehousing services for the State of New Hampshire’s Liquor Commission out of the new facility. Pro Con Inc of Manchester, New Hampshire is the architect and construction manager for the project.
“The structural steel will be completed by the end of May and the metal decking is underway,” stated the project manager for Pro Con Inc. “The underground plumbing and electrical are nearly complete and we expect to begin the roofing and metal panels in mid-May.”
Pro Con Inc designed the single story distribution center to have 21 truck dock positions, with the possibility of adding an additional 12 dock positions in the future. The building’s exterior finish will be insulated metal panels with painted concrete block up to 16-ft high at the loading dock area and a TPO roof system.
The building’s interior will have a 40-ft clear height to the underside of the joists; with storage racks to 37-ft and the aisles will be approximately 10-ft wide to allow for freight handling. Pro Con Inc will provide the building’s shell and the interior finishes for the administrative offices, break room, training classroom and cooler space. Exel will provide and install the storage racking system.
Pro Con Inc began site work for the design build project in February 2013 and has scheduled a mid-September 2013 completion date for the facility.
