Dietz & Watson has engaged Centurion under a multi-phase design-build contract to execute a comprehensive facility expansion and site improvement program. The project includes a 34,000-square-foot production addition, a 4,000-square-foot palletizing and packaging addition, and a 2,000-square-foot entrance addition and renovation. Site work also includes the construction of a new entrance drive, complete with a guard house, visitor restroom facilities, and a truck scale, to enhance site security and traffic control.

Centurion provided integrated architectural, structural, mechanical, and civil engineering services from initial concept development through permitting and construction documentation.
