CenterPoint Logistics

AHBL provided structural design services for CenterPoint’s new 414,400 SF single-story warehouse with a 40-foot clear height on a 24-acre site. The building features tilt-up concrete walls, a hybrid Berkley roof system, and conventional concrete foundations. AHBL prepared foundation and roof framing plans, tilt-up wall elevations, and mezzanine foundation plans for permitting, while coordinating closely with the contractor to value engineer structural systems. The site, located on a superfund cleanup area, required integration of under-slab ventilation and water treatment systems with structural design, in collaboration with environmental engineers. AHBL also managed permitting and provided construction-phase services.

Additional work included structural modifications to an existing pre-engineered metal building housing the filtration system. The team reduced the building size from 200 feet to 40 feet, repaired frames, and installed new siding—all while maintaining continuous operation of the pump and filtration system. AHBL also delivered calculations and drawings for HVAC installation on the new warehouse. The site’s complexity, including contaminated soil and off-gassing mitigation under half the building, required specialized coordination to ensure structural integrity and environmental compliance.
