Pepsi Cola, Production & Distribution Center

Work on the Pepsi production and distribution center in Hayward, California, included the construction work on the fleet maintenance area, filling room, production area, warehouse and finished office space.

This design/build project with DES Architects + Engineers included site utilities, paving, landscape and significant modifications to Hesperian Boulevard.

The facility was constructed with 125 forty-foot high tilt-up panels. The panelized roof truss system used both traditional built-up and sheet metal roofing, including 172 skylights. The facility also included the installation of a first-class warehouse slab-on-grad and a stainless steel tank system for manufacturing the various Pepsi beverages.

Acid-resistant underground piping was installed to transport the ingredients. Other unique features include concrete masonry walls, dual-sloped floors and furnane-grouted quarry tile.
