Boeing along with their Joint Venture General Contactor, BE&K / Turner have selected CMC South Carolina Steel as the Structural Steel Design Build subcontractor for the new Boeing 787 assembly building in Charleston, SC.
The building footprint will be 614’ wide by 1,030’ long and includes eleven 614’ roof trusses weighing 440 tons each. The production floor will accommodate two 787s side by side and the total project amounts to more that 20,000 tons of structural steel, joists, metal deck, and Smartbeams® designed, detailed, and fabricated, by CMC and erected by CMC’s Erection Subcontractor, Buckner Companies of Graham, NC.
This facility will be the third long-span structure by CMC South Carolina Steel at the Charleston site. CMC worked with BE&K to construct the Vought and Global Air facilities in 2005 and 2006 respectively. This project will involve over 200,000 man-hours of work for CMC South Carolina Steel, its affiliates and subcontractors including CMC Cary Engineering, CMC Steel South Carolina, CMC Joist & Deck, CMC Steel Products, and CMC Kilroy.
Ed Garvin, General Manager of CMC South Carolina Steel, stated, “We would like to thank BE&K / Turner and Boeing for their confidence in the CMC team and we look forward to another very successful project. It is a great privilege for the men and women of CMC to be a part of Boeing’s select group of contractors for the new facility in South Carolina. We appreciate Boeing’s confidence in the people of South Carolina and we stand ready to deliver on their expectations.”
