Apex, NC
Knightdale Gateway Park
Two Class A tilt-wall distribution facilities anchor this new industrial park. The project involves abating existing structures on the 55-acre site and repurposing 65K CY rock for a 35' retaining wall and site rebalancing. The challenge of rerouting a 40K volt transmission line is successfully mitigated through proactive communication, creative sequencing, and safe, strategic planning. No power disruptions occur and the project finishes on schedule.

Project Highlight
Strategic Solutions in Action
The Choate team brought innovative thinking and resourceful problem-solving to site complexities.
High-Voltage Powerline Rerouting
A 40,000-volt electrical line ran directly through the middle of the site – a major constraint to progress. Rather than delay construction, Choate strategically re-phased operations to safely work around the line while grading the site, building a 35-foot retaining wall, installing underground conduits, pulling new wire, and tying into a new switch gear system. Once rerouted, the existing overhead line was safely demolished, all without impacting critical milestones.
Rock Repurposing and Site Stewardship
Excavation revealed 65,000 CY of classified rock, a potential cost driver that became an opportunity. The project team crushed and reused the rock onsite, integrating it into geogrid reinforcement for the retaining wall and balancing the site.
