Leading the Industry in EPS Manufacturing

Completed in January of 2016, Uline's new 1,000,000 sf facility known as W2 is a state-of-the-art distribution center that is the best organized of all of Uline’s facilities.  Since building on past experience is key to efficiency in so many ways, W2 is largely a duplicate of its predecessor W1, including many important design and construction material decisions.

One key decision on such a large, open floor plan facility was thermal insulation to guard against Wisconsin’s dramatic annual temperature swings.  With summer temperatures reaching into the 90’s and as low minus 40 in the winter, cost-effectively maintaining Uline’s desired working conditions in such a large building relies on premium quality insulation. 

Nearly 50 years since it was built, the Kansas State University Memorial Stadium was overdue for revitalization. On both the east and west side of the stadium an interesting challenge was faced during early design discussions: what to do with the concrete risers above the revitalized structures.  The architecture team at Gould Evans turned to an innovative commercial building product, ACH Foam Technologies’ Foam-Control® EPS Geofoam.
