Integrated Device Technologies, Inc.
Hillsboro, Oregon

The IDT project consisted of a 96,000 square foot two-story office building attached to a 96,000 square foot silicon wafer fabrication building. The project also had three buildings and a mechanical platform containing support equipment totaling 40,700 square feet and four pipe support bridges. All the buildings were concrete tilt-up structures with structural steel and open-web joist framing. The fab building tilt-up panels were 55-feet tall. This was a fast-track project and was completed (start of design to building dry-in) in six months with the facility was producing product within sixteen months of start of design.

Merix
Wood Village, Oregon

The Merix facility was developed and constructed by OPUS Northwest as a turn key finished product completed in 2001. The site had significant challenges, including 40 of grade change front to back of the site and significant wetlands mitigation. VLMK Engineers worked closely with the Merix/OPUS design team to complete the site review and building shell approval within a three-month period. The fast track scheduling necessitated concerted efforts to accommodate the intense electrical and mechanical system requirements for the facility.

The interior improvements included a 10,000 sq. ft. clean room, hazardous materials storage tanks, and overflow containment system, and several layers of stacked mechanical piping.

Sun Microsystems
Hillsboro, Oregon

This facility is a 70,000 sq. ft. concrete and steel electronics manufacturing building with an attached 20,000 sq. ft. office. Exterior bearing walls are reinforced concrete tilt-up construction. The steel joist and girder roof system was designed to support large air handling and manufacturing equipment with a composite metal deck.

Lateral loads for the office are resisted by steel moment frames, thereby facilitating a large, unobstructed curtain wall system. The project was constructed on a "fast track" basis with multiple permit submittals.
