A M King provided full property consulting services, designed and built a greenfield facility for Nucor Laurens SC (TrueCore,) a manufacturer of Insulated Metal Panels, for use in facility construction and renovation of cold storage, food processing, dry industrial and manufacturing projects.

The established vision for the building was to provide length to house a continuous manufacturing line that could produce the longest panels available in the country; clear heights and column spacing that allowed for easier handling of finished goods; interior storage space needed for the curing process; and upscale office design that would clearly represent TrueCore’s brand and culture.

The New Nucor Laurens SC Facility

The new 115,000-sf Nucor Laurens SC facility (TrueCore), which also serves as the company headquarters, consists of structural steel frame, concrete tilt-wall panels and a reinforced concrete floor slab. It was custom-designed by A M King to exceed the typical standards for a manufacturing facility in aesthetics and function and can accommodate 1,000 lineal feet of continuous production line.

Features include 11,000 sf of Class A corporate office space and 82,000 sf of exterior space for product laydown and handling. The facility also contains areas with 85-foot expanded bay spacing, recessed equipment pits, an overhead bridge crane and equipment rooms dedicated to chemical mixing and storage.

Utilizing unique technology, the facility can manufacture a greater scope of panel size options and length than any other company in the United States. Nucor’s panels are developed using the latest manufacturing technologies with state-of-the-art equipment from Europe. Manufacturing processes at the new facility are fully automated, requiring very little human interaction
