BSC 88-188 Decorative Paint Facility
Boeing | Charleston, SC
Project Overview
Boeing constructed a new Decorative Paint Facility in Charleston, including two bays designed to accomodate their "Dreamliner" model 787-10. The building design location allowed for the future addition of a third paint bay and flight line expansion to the south.
Harris Group provided comprehensive design, including programming of the occupied spaces for paint crews, maintenance staff, engineering, office support staff, and customer areas. Design development also included optimization of the main structure and support areas and best option analysis for the main process air ventilation system.
Key Highlights
Restrictive Developable Area & Real Estate Footprint: Designed within limited space to maximize functionality and future expansion.
Multiple Stakeholders & Value Engineering: Coordinated diverse teams and optimized design for efficiency, cost, and performance.
Innovative Airflow & Cleanliness: Features a clean, particulate-free environment with downflow air return and nose-to-tail ventilation for maximum overspray collection.
Custom Features: Includes a special nose pocket and trench system for sustainable operation and enhanced process control.
Design for Future Growth: Space planned for additional paint bays and flight line expansion, with wetlands mitigation coordinated seamlessly.
Operational Excellence: Programmed for paint crews, maintenance, engineering, and support staff, with LEAN workflow optimization and waste handling systems.
Harris Group: Effective leadership, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and adaptive project management.
