GM Shipping Parts Operation Facility

Spicer Group was hired by GM to design upgrades to the shipping dock at its Service Parts Operations plant to maximize the amount of heavy truck traffic entering the facility and create a larger and safer area for the semi trucks to unhook and hook up their trailers. Spicer Group designed a plan that removed an existing masonry wall and replaced it with a structural metal-framed and insulated metal sided wall with seven 30’ by 17’ openings complete with power doors. Spicer Group also provided structural modeling, traffic and circulation modeling and the development of a 3-D rendering that helped provide a better understanding of the design to GM officials.
