Vinmar International, a global marketing, distribution and project development company that brings value to the world's leading producers and users of petrochemical products through tailored business solutions, recently completed a ±500,000 square foot rail-served distribution facility and office on a 40-acre site. The site encompassed over 2,000 linear feet of storm sewer & drainage conduit, including several outfall points to an existing 17.3-acre detention basin, utility infrastructure, grading, and 35,000 square yards of concrete pavement, as well as several months of coordination with other project disciplines including architectural, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and structural engineering. The project also included review and coordination with Chambers County for the civil site, detention & earthwork in accordance with agency requirements.
Located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Baytown, and in one of the largest industrial parks in the United States at 4830 FM 1405, the building's contemporary design creates a strong corporate identity and provides flexible space for future expansion for both storage and rail capacity.
The project was completed in September of 2018. Powers Brown Architecture was the architect and Landev Engineers was the design engineer. Other key members of the design team includes Gorrondona Engineering Services, Inc.
