How to Approach Site Selection for Battery Plants
Over the last year, we’ve evaluated over 88,000 acres for potential electric vehicle battery manufacturing operations. Learn more about our approach.
Our Work With Ultium Cells
When Ultium Cells decided to double its battery production in the United States, they called on a familiar face. After designing Ultium Cells’ first battery plant in Lordstown, Ohio, we were once again selected to design the 2.8 million-square-foot facility in Spring Hill, Tennessee, set to open late next year.
Providing Power to a Battery Plant
Our capabilities extend to more than just facility design services. We can also help with the infrastructure surrounding your facility. In Ohio, our utility services team designed a high-voltage overhead power transmission line and substation to power an Ultium Cells facility.
