IKEA Distribution Center

Tejon Ranch, California
The facility boasts over 1.7 million s.f. under one roof, including 30,000 s.f. of offices, and is over ½ mile in length with in excess of 270 truck dock positions. The site includes a nearly 1.5:1 ratio of trailer storage stalls to dock doors. Multiple ramps allow for flatbed trailer loading throughout. At the time of construction, the project was the largest single concrete tilt‐up distribution building in the world. In addition, tilt‐up panels at the high‐bay areas extended 75’ from top of footings to top of parapet, making them some of the tallest concrete panels in the world without intermediate floors. Crawler cranes were necessary to pick the panels.
