Project Overview

One of the largest bulk CBD suppliers in the U.S. approached FPE about designing and building their new production facility. After an initial feasibility study for process and facility requirements and the review of multiple existing building shells in which to house the new operation was completed, our firm implemented the design and construction for the project. The facility encompassed 125,000 sf for offices, raw and finished goods warehousing, hemp processing (pre-extraction, extraction, winterization, crystallization, remediation), purification, filling, and packaging.

The project involved many high-hazard, classified rooms due to various solvents involved in the process. FPE provided process P&IDs based on the client’s input, as well as architecture and engineering for the following, electric systems, backup generator, chilled water systems, air handling/ventilation systems, CO2 delivery system, natural gas distribution, process sewers, boilers, hot water system, compressed air, and exhaust air treatment.

Project planning, design, permitting, and construction for the project was implemented by FPE.
