Mercedes Benz Marshalling Yard – Storm Drain

SILD Field Notes

SILD was a subcontractor on this project, hired to install storm drainage. Scope of work included installing large diameter reinforced concrete pipe, inside existing outfall ditches. Requiring several large excavators, and wheel loaders to deliver on schedule. Existing storm water had to be bypassed into ponds during construction, to divert water flow around the work zone. Total work delivered included thousands of feet of reinforced concrete pipe and multiple large drainage structures.

New Sprinter Plant in North Charleston for Mercedes-Benz Vans

Mercedes-Benz Vans marked the groundbreaking of its new Sprinter plant for the North American market. With this new full-scale plant, Mercedes-Benz Vans will offer faster and more individualized supply to its customers. The new plant is an expansion of the existing van assembly site. It represents an investment of around 500 million US dollars. Mercedes-Benz Vans will create up to 1,300 jobs. First the body shop of the new plant will be constructed, followed by the paint shop and the assembly lines later this year. Production of the next-generation Sprinter is planned to begin before the end of the decade.

Frank Klein, Head of Operations Mercedes-Benz Vans: “Our new Sprinter plant is a big leap into the future of production at Mercedes-Benz Vans. We are combining all of our global expertise and experience in this plant. In doing so, we make it one of the most advanced facilities in North America. The plant will meet the highest standards in quality, based on our globally standardized production system – from the first vehicle that rolls off the assembly line.”

The current production area and administration building of the assembly plant in North Charleston cover 409,000 square feet. The new facility will additionally cover around 1.1 million square feet plus a 2.8 million square feet marshalling yard for finished vehicles. With the new production site Mercedes-Benz Vans will be among the biggest industrial employers in the region.
