Next-Gen Distribution Centers: Protecting Millions in Seconds. The rise of automated storage retrieval systems (ASRS) in e-commerce creates unique safety challenges for #NextGenDistributionCenters. A single ASRS stoppage or fire incident can cripple operations and cost millions. One client faced this dilemma. Their existing fire and life safety system couldn't handle their new ASRS, posing a continuity and safety nightmare. They needed a safety system that wouldn't slow down construction, but the tight timeline added another layer of complexity. Enter #EdwardsSafety! In collaboration with Edwards Strategic Partner, ESSCOE, L.L.C., and Novak Construction, we were able to: • Upgrade the existing fire alarm system to seamlessly integrate with the ASRS. • Develop a customized fire protection plan to mitigate risks and ensure operational continuity. • Execute the entire project within a condensed timeline Jonathan McConnell, our Strategic Accounts Manager, takes you behind the scenes and shares insights on safeguarding ASRS environments. Don't miss out on these #ASRSSafety secrets: https://lnkd.in/eCuJEMHB! What safety concerns do you have about next-gen distribution centers?

Novak Construction Company completed construction on a new Whole Foods Market in Madison Yards, a development from Smith | Gilbane. The new 50,000-square-foot store, located at 4710 Madison Yards Way, Madison, Wisconsin, officially opened on December 13, 2023. For this recent collaboration, Whole Foods Market engaged with Novak Construction Company, BRR Architecture, Henderson Engineers, and Johnston Burkholder Associates. Novak provided extensive value-engineering for Whole Foods Market, resulting in a net zero dollar change to the project contract value. Construction started in May 2023, and the certificate of occupancy was secured early for a smooth turnover to Whole Foods. Over 300 floor penetrations were run through the existing structural deck, with MEP piping suspended from the deck in the underground parking garage. Custom wall finishes including high-end tile and reclaimed wood wall cladding enhance the customer shopping experience. Novak coordinated extensively with the developer to maintain access and staging while development work was ongoing, including completion of a public plaza and an adjacent luxury high-rise. Novak Construction Company has worked on over 100 Whole Foods projects in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and we proudly secured four upcoming projects in Florida and Illinois for 2024! Congratulations to the Whole Foods Market team! 🎉

As we gather around the table, we extend heartfelt thanks to our incredible team, clients, and communities. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving filled with warmth, joy, and the strength of well-built connections. 🍂🏗️
