G.H. Tool & Mold, a division of Tooling Tech Group (TTG), has begun construction on a $2.3 million expansion at 423 W-W Industrial Park Dr. in Washington, Mo.
General contractor Kadean Construction recently broke ground on the metal warehouse project, adding 21,000 SF of space to the existing 40,000 SF-facility. The original space will remain the bread-and-butter of the company, who manufactures tooling for the die cast and aerospace industries.
"The addition will house two, 60-ton bridge cranes, which are used for moving materials in the manufacturing area within the building," said Scott Rakonick, senior project manager for Kadean Construction.
The addition will also include a large, double-column bridge mill with a 70,000-pound capacity.
"The Kadean team has been a pleasure to work with and our project is running right on schedule so far. They are a very knowledgeable group and are running the project very efficiently," said Dave Graves, president of G.H. Tool & Mold.
Other project partners include Washington Engineering & Architecture, Inc. and Varco Pruden Buildings.
The project is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2020 and bring on approximately 25 more employees over the next five years.
