Construction of an Industrial Facility for Whirlpool's Expansion in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila
GP Construcción successfully completed the expansion of the industrial facility at the Whirlpool plant in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico, solidifying its position as one of the country’s leading construction firms specializing in industrial projects.
A large-scale project
The project consisted of a 22,000 m² main production facility and 3,000 m² of ancillary spaces, with a construction period of 18 months (April 2023 – September 2024). The plant is designed for the manufacture of refrigerators and includes administrative offices, a cafeteria, and operational areas equipped with high-performance technology.
Challenges and Innovative Solutions
One of the biggest challenges was the construction of the new Ring Road, which was essential for enabling truck traffic and ensuring the continued operation of the existing plant.
To achieve this milestone without disrupting production, earthwork was carried out 18 hours a day, with work divided into two shifts. Once the road was completed, construction of the main facility began.
Scope of the Project
The comprehensive scope of the project included:
- Earthwork and Foundations
- Concrete Slabs
- Metal Frame and Metal Roof with TPO
- Fire Protection System
- Low- and medium-voltage electrical installations
- HVAC, Plumbing, and Sanitary Systems
- Special Systems
- Construction of offices and a cafeteria
Commitment to Sustainability
As part of the Green Office program, we were visited by the State Director of Environmental Culture, Margarita Alba, M.A., and her coordinator, Lucía Rosales Campos, who presented the official appointments for the project’s environmental committee.
In addition, in partnership with the Construyendo y Creciendo Foundation, mobile classrooms were set up to promote the educational development of employees on-site.
