MEDRAD, Inc. Manufacturing Facility
 
MEDRAD, Inc., a worldwide leading provider of medical devices and services that enable and enhance imaging procedures of the human body, recently opened a new 120,000 square-foot manufacturing facility. The facility is located on the former site of a U.S. Steel sintering plant in Victory Road Business Park in Clinton Township, Butler County. It is 30 miles north of Downtown Pittsburgh and will create hundreds of new jobs for the region over the next several years.
Working initially for the Community Development Corporation (CDC) of Butler County, The Gateway Engineers, Inc. (Gateway) provided the original conceptual design for the project. Having detailed knowledge of the proposed site, as well as MEDRAD’s unique needs, Gateway was retained to complete the design development, construction documents, approvals, and construction administration phases of the overall project.
A major factor in the overall success of the project was the ability to meet the client’s request for an accelerated project completion date. From design to completion, the entire project was finished in just 10 months. While the tight timeframe alone was a major concern, the project team was also charged with environmentally conscious design and construction tasks. The building was designed to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. LEED certification requires that a building meet stringent measures and tests of its energy efficiency and environmentally friendly construction through use of natural lighting, biodegradable materials and construction practices that reduce human impact on the site. The project team experienced in LEED building and engineering, seamlessly coordinated all efforts to ensure that these aspects were incorporated into each phase of the project.
Gateway also provided and/or coordinated the efforts for topographic and boundary surveys, lot consolidation plans, landscape architecture, and geotechnical engineering services.
