This 217,000 square foot FedEx sorting facility in Danville, Illinois represents CSD’s expertise in large-scale industrial and logistics building design. As Engineer of Record (EOR), CSD provided comprehensive structural engineering for both the building structure and foundations, delivering a solution that balances efficiency, durability, and operational functionality.

The facility features precast concrete wall panels combined with a joist and joist girder roof system, creating an expansive, column-free interior space essential for the high-volume package sorting operations. This structural system provides the optimal balance of cost-effectiveness, rapid construction, and long-term performance required for logistics facilities.

FedEx sorting facilities like this one are critical hubs in the company’s nationwide delivery network, processing tens of thousands of packages daily. Modern sorting centers employ advanced automated sorting systems that require specific structural considerations, including vibration control, precise floor flatness, and adaptable configurations to accommodate evolving technology.

CSD’s engineering expertise ensured the structural design supports these operational requirements while meeting aggressive construction timelines. The precast wall system offers excellent durability for the high-traffic environment while providing flexibility for future modifications as logistics technologies continue to evolve.
