We are privileged to partner with the developers and Boulder Associates Architects on this latest project: a 70,000-square-foot, three-story rehabilitation facility.
Although this complex project called for a full range of engineering disciplines, the most difficult challenge was beating the clock. We joined the project in April, charged with helping make it operational by the end of that year.
Rapid and extensive development in North Dakota’s Bakken Formation has presented a number of opportunities and challenges. One such challenge is to comply safely and efficiently with increasing regulations on truck transport of crude oil. Our client seeks to develop a gathering system around Watford City, N.D., with a connection to the Tesoro crude oil pipeline.
The Bakken formation constitutes one of the world’s most rapidly developing shale plays. MKEC was contracted to plan, design and engineer a unit train loading facility to allow our client to move crude oil to market. The finished facility needed to be capable of handling eight unit trains per week while accommodating the switching requirements for an adjacent grain elevator.
We were asked to design a three-span bridge to replace an existing outmoded 1931 single-span steel trestle bridge over a tributary to the Arkansas River in north-central Oklahoma. This included relocating a driveway at one end of the bridge.
Another valuable addition to the growing Innovation Campus at Wichita State University.To support growth at NetApp, a Fortune 500 global IT company with over 600 employees locally, a new $50M state-of-the-art facility will be built by MWCB LLC on Wichita State University's Innovation Campus. NetApp will add 45 full-time jobs over the next five years and 70 over the next ten.
The Greater Wichita Partnership was pleased to work with NetApp, Wichita State University, MWCB LLC, Crossland Construction Company, Inc., GLMV Architecture, Inc., Hinkle Law Firm LLC and collaborate with the Kansas Department of Commerce and the City of Wichita- Government economic development office in realizing the project.
It’s the engineering behind the engineering – we sit down with our Instrumentation & Controls expert to learn how the powerful combination of two engineering disciplines keeps the world running smoothly. #EngineeringSuccess
