FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS – Fairview Heights-based construction-management firm IMPACT Strategies today announced it completed two major building construction projects for Ameren Illinois in central Illinois.
IMPACT Strategies constructed a regional operations center located at 1505 E. University Drive in Macomb, Illinois. The 40,000-square-foot pre-engineered metal building was built to accommodate local Ameren Illinois gas and electric crews. It contains office space and a truck garage for repair and maintenance of Ameren Illinois’ fleet. As part of the project, IMPACT Strategies also completed extensive site paving for a materials storage yard. The project team included Riddle Design, architect; Hein Construction Co., Inc., earthwork, site utilities and concrete; The PIPCO Companies, Ltd, fire protection and plumbing; Crawford Company, HVAC; and Birdsley Electric, Inc., electric. More than 25 percent of the work was performed by minority and women-owned businesses.
In Decatur, Illinois, IMPACT Strategies built a 12,000-square-foot multi-state gas control center located at 2425 N. Woodford Street. The building has raised access flooring within the command center and is constructed of steel and cast-in-place structural concrete walls. Mission critical areas of the building are FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) rated to withstand 250 mph winds. The facility has approximately 20 full-time Ameren Illinois staff members. It is an around-the-clock operation where highly skilled workers remotely monitor gas transmission and distribution networks in Illinois and Missouri to ensure the safety and reliability of its operations.
