JM Coull tops off first building of Waters Corp.’s manufacturing facility expansion

Taunton, MA JM Coull (JMC) topped off the first building under Waters Corp.’s 135,000 s/f manufacturing facility expansion project. The building, which will house offices, laboratories, manufacturing space, central utilities, and maintenance, has since been enclosed and made weather tight. Energy-efficient TPO roofing is currently being installed. Waters is making approximately a $215 million investment in the project.

JMC has retained the services of Industrial Facilities Design, Inc. (IFDI) for architectural and structural engineering and, through IFDI, mechanical and electrical engineering services from NV5 and civil engineering through BSC Group as part of its turn-key design-build team. 

“We have a really focused team, from JMC to our design and engineering partners, to our subcontractors, to the client team,” said JMC project manager Josh Brandt. “This is a major investment for Waters, and obviously the sooner it’s up and running, the sooner they can begin operations in the new space. We’ve set a steady, somewhat aggressive schedule from the project’s outset, and it’s something we’re all committed to keeping throughout the duration of the project.”
