Overaa is proud to announce that the FedEx Distribution Center in Richmond, California received two prestigious honors from the Tilt-Up Concrete Association — the Best Project Award and the inaugural Sustainability Award.
This 220,000-square-foot facility processes up to half a million packages per day during the peak holiday season. Designed to achieve zero emissions within five years, the project is recognized as the greenest distribution facility in the western region, supporting an electric fleet of 180 vehicles.
Key Sustainability Highlights:
- Proprietary overhead electric fleet charging infrastructure, carefully coordinated and energized through phased implementation.
- High-performance building envelope and advanced emissions detection system.
- Deep-wick ground improvement solution and 3.2 acres of on-site bio-retention.
- Reuse of casting slab material for foundation construction.
- Low-carbon concrete used in slab-on-grade applications.
- Pervious asphalt and bioswales to promote groundwater replenishment.
These achievements reflect Overaa’s continued leadership in innovative, sustainable construction and its commitment to reducing environmental impact through cutting-edge building technologies.
