Since their launch into the Houston market in 2015, ARCO Design/Build has emerged as a leading commercial and light industrial general contractor working with clients on projects nationwide.
"Archway Properties and AFGlobal were great partners throughout the project. We're blessed to have been a part of this collaborative team on this state-of-the-art facility and look forward to watching it contribute to the success and growth of AFGlobal's business," said Eric Safko, Vice President of ARCO Design/Build.
This build to suit facility supports AFGlobal's upstream equipment expertise serving the energy sector. The new site consists of two buildings totaling 95,000 square feet for manufacturing and testing oil drill rigs. The manufacturing building is serviced by 14 overhead cranes and includes an employee welfare area, mezzanine offices, a fabrication shop, a parts storage area, and 20 assembly bays. The testing building consists of a two-story office/shop for both employees and visitor viewing, six test bays with a dedicated electrical substation, a wash bay, and a fluids/lubrication shop.
"It was a great experience to work with ARCO on the AFGlobal Campus located at the Waller Industrial Park. ARCO sets the bar high when it comes to design-build. We look forward to continuing to grow a great working relationship with Eric, John, and the ARCO team," said Jason R. Smith, Business Development Director for Archway Properties.
