P1 Construction Kicks off MEP Project at Summit Truck Bodies Facility Expansion

P1 representatives recently attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Summit Truck Bodies expansion project.

The new facility will occupy 220,000 square feet and will be located next to the existing production and warehouse facility in Wathena, KS.

Once complete, the new facility is expected to positively impact the local community by increasing revenue and providing jobs.

The complete project is valued at approximately $50 million, and will be managed by Reynolds Construction Management.

P1 Construction will manage a portion valued at $7,147,084, and P1 will complete 100 percent of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

The full MEP design was completed by the P1 preconstruction team of Don Erisman, Mike Thome and Bryan Bahr.

The preconstruction team will also be performing periodic inspections during the construction process to verify the project is correctly following the original design.

The project will be led by Operations Manager Jason White (pictured, above/right), who notes that it was important to the Summit Truck Bodies owners to hire local contractors for the job.

"Summit wanted to ensure the contractors on this job were local, and P1's St. Joseph office prides itself on delivering the quality associated with P1 to the facilities in our local area," he said.

"P1 is proud to be a part of this project, especially considering its positive impact on local jobs," Jason said.

The project got underway in June and is scheduled for completion late Summer 2025.
