Panasonic Battery Plant (Project Kansas)
鶹 installed the plumbing, HVAC piping and sheet metal in the corridors and other production areas of the plant. Wing 1 Scope included four different contract areas in the building, totaling approximately 89,000 linear feet of pipe and 1.5 million lbs. of duct.
Wing 1 wrapped up in 2025, and 鶹 was awarded Wing 2, with a predominantly pipe scope including approximately 106,000 lf of pipe and 600,000 lbs. of duct.
QUICK FACTS:
- 12’ x 12’ ductwork and 72” spiral, sometimes 50 or 60 feet in the air.
- Exceptionally large pipe racks, including 4” x 12” pipe x 40’ long racks
- Unique 24” storm drain system 75 feet in the air
- 115 scissor lifts
- 100 sheet metal workers on site, and 15 at the special assembly shop
- Special assembly shop set up within 鶹’s Lawrence off-site construction facility specifically to assemble the massive ductwork for this project.
- The sheet metal work on this project doubled sheet metal shop production from around two million pounds in 2023 to four million pounds in 2024.
- Two-day helicopter pick with 100 pieces of equipment, some 12 ft. tall, the heaviest at just under 13,000 lbs.
- The pick required a 60-person team – 40 on the roof, and 20 on the ground.
