Survey, Design and Construction for Sugar Land Rail Facility
TGB Instrumental in Accredo Packaging Expansion

TGB Group provided professional survey, design and construction services for the expansion of the Accredo Packaging North American production facility in Sugar Land, Texas. The latest in three phases of expansion was completed in the first quarter of 2020 and provided Accredo with nearly three times more operational space.

Highlights of the survey, design and construction expansion project include:
- Total facility space upon completion: 550,000 square feet, which is nearly almost three times the original size
- 165,000 additional square feet of warehouse and office space
- 35,840 square feet of new manufacturing space
- Work included adding a 4,000-amp underground power supply
- Two 500t air-cooled chillers were added to serve production equipment
- Two new rail spurs
- 1,825 additional feet of railroad track along with a crossover and drainage accommodation
New survey, design and construction increases capacity and creates jobs

The expansion project will give Accredo a significant capacity increase for bag and pouch making, adhesive lamination projects and flexographic printing. Annual flexible film production was increased to 2 billion feet from 1.5 billion feet.

Along with greater production at its Sugar Land facility, which opened in 2009, the expansion work resulted in 175 new jobs in the area, bringing the number of Accredo employees up to 525 from 350 before the project began.

TGB Group partnered with Railworks for much of the survey, design and construction services on this project, which supported Kingham Dalton Wilson, which oversaw the design and construction of a new building located to the south of the existing facility.

Accredo Packaging Expansion Underway

TGB Group working with KDW and Railworks on this Sugar Land, Texas, project

TGB Group is working alongside KDW (Kingham Dalton Wilson) of Houston and the Railworks office in Pasadena, Texas, to provide services to Accredo Packaging of Sugar Land, Texas, for the expansion of their current operations.

This is the second building that KDW has designed and built for Accredo Packaging. For this expansion project, Accredo asked for a turnkey solution that includes rail access. KDW will be managing the design and construction of a new 200,000-square-foot building and parking lot, just south of Accredo’s existing 350,000-square-foot Sugar Land manufacturing facility.

TGB Group is working with Railworks to provide survey, design and construction for the 1,825 feet of railroad track that will consist of two spurs, a crossover and accommodations for drainage. The drainage systems for the rail infrastructure will be seamlessly integrated with the building and parking lot drainage.

With the completion of this expansion project, Accredo Packaging is expecting to bring 175 new jobs to the residents of Sugar Land and nearby areas. TGB is providing our broad construction and design expertise as we work hand in hand with Railworks and KDW to ensure the project is completed to the customer’s exact specifications.
