T&L Excited To View Fully Operational KEECO Facility Following Lengthy Partnership
Thompson & Litton partnered with Skyrem, LLC in July 2021 to provide Surveying, Architectural, and Engineering services associated with the KEECO Manufacturing Facility Expansion project in Henry County, Virginia. Following recent acquisitions and consolidation, KEECO has become the world’s largest pillow manufacturer. The existing Henry County facility needed to double in size to increase shipping and receiving areas and additional warehouse space. The project consisted of two distinct construction packages, one for the overall land development and the other the upfit of a tilt-up concrete wall superstructure of 244,000 S.F. T&L’s scope of services included survey and subsurface engineering, design, permitting, preparation of bid documents, assistance with procurement, and construction contract administration. The site construction was completed by Steve Martin’s Trenching, Inc. of Martinsville, VA and the Warehouse up-fit by Blair Construction of Gretna, VA. Soon after Substantial Completion was attained in August 2023, it didn’t take KEECO long to get the warehouse filled up. The big bundles seen in the footage are compressed filling for the various style pillows ranging in weight between 250 and 800 lbs.
