The Pasco Warehouse and Logistics Facility project is a new precast concrete building that serves as a logistics hub facilitating deliveries across Southern Washington. As part of a larger initiative, this project was one of four similar facilities constructed across three states for the same client, all within a tight timeframe. Each facility's construction began within a month of the others and was completed in December 2024.

The Pasco project utilized precast concrete, a less common alternative to the typical cast-in-place approach. Precast offered significant advantages, as the panels were poured in a controlled environment and then transported to the site for installation. This method eliminated on-site pouring, avoided delays caused by weather or other site factors, and ensured consistent quality. When early permitting delays set the project back, the team selected a precast structure to accelerate the timeline. However, the proximity of the project site to an airport introduced a unique challenge: the original crane for moving the panels was too tall and interfered with airport safety operations. To resolve this issue, the team employed two smaller cranes – one to lift the panels off the trucks and another to position them. This adjustment required meticulous coordination to maintain efficiency without compromising safety. Additionally, choosing precast demanded early action to secure factory production slots due to long lead times.

Despite these challenges, the PCL team navigated the obstacles with precision, delivering the project on time and exceeding client expectations. Through creative problem-solving and adaptability, they turned potential setbacks into a successful outcome.
