Wildlife Commerce Park is a 220-acre Class-A business park located in the Grand Prairie area, which is a submarket of DFW. This huge industrial development includes a total of 4.8 million square feet of industrial space over a total of 14 buildings.
Wildlife Commerce Park is a well-connected area with robust infrastructure, an internal network of roadways linking up the different buildings, and landscaping, which incorporates a 100-acre lake, among other features. The buildings themselves area also sizable, ranging from over 100,800 square feet to 703,040 square feet.
The former Delfasco Forge, which was a munitions manufacturing and forge operation, functioned from 1950 to 1998. Residual chlorinated solvents in the soil and groundwater, meant that new builds near the site required additional protection. Three buildings in particular required vapor intrusion mitigation, and EPRO worked with HRT Construction, the General Contractor, to install the ideal system, Geo-Seal 60.
“Geo-Seal 60 was the best fit for this site which was close 1 million square feet in size,” Hector Alarcon, Director of Construction, HRT Construction, Inc.
“The system was ideal to meet our specific vapor intrusion needs and protect the buildings.”
Geo-Seal 60 is a vapor intrusion barrier that is more robust and resistant to construction traffic than simple single sheet membranes. It is comprised of Geo-Seal FILM 11, Geo-Seal CORE and Geo-Seal BOND. Each of the three layers has a distinct purpose which, when united, form a strong and effective vapor intrusion mitigation system that has been proven across the industry.
“We have been working with Geo-Seal for years now and are very familiar with the system, which is why it was our go-to product,” says Alarcon.
The EPRO team are transparent with all trades when it comes to each and every system’s nuances, special features, and benefits. Sharing information and building relationships is key to success – better understanding and communication on an off the job site can help projects to move smoothly and schedules to stay on track. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, EPRO values its relationships and continues to build on its close connections with customers – something that also benefited the Wildlife Commerce Park project and enabled EPRO to work with this team again.
“We have a great relationship with EPRO going back decades,” adds Alarcon.
“Building bridges in this industry is key to success, and we appreciate any chance to work with the team.”
