RI Workplace helps fast-growing PowerPak Civil & Safety with major office expansion in Congers, New York.

Situation:

PowerPak Civil & Safety, the U.S.’s leading source for utility and infrastructure supplies outgrew their existing office and required additional space to accommodate their growing team. They wanted the new space to have a ‘wow factor’ and suit their staff’s needs more effectively. All this had to be achieved without disrupting their day-to-day operations.

Solution:

  • RI Workplace came up with a solution to expand PowerPak’s office into their existing warehouse, avoiding the need for relocation which would have greatly interrupted their operations. This was done by building a mezzanine to optimize the use of ceiling heights.
  • A phased construction schedule allowed PowerPak’s entire team to stay fully operational throughout the project. Dust barriers, noise cancellation and close project supervision were carefully maintained to avoid any negative impacts during construction.
  • The new design prioritized collaborative spaces with fewer private offices featuring huddle rooms and large conference areas.
  • New amenities such as extra cafés, upgraded bathrooms and a ping-pong area overlooking a 30-ft mural of NYC help PowerPak retain employees.
  • A redesigned furniture layout maximized usable space per square foot enhancing efficiency.
  • All design aesthetics were selected to align with PowerPak’s industry for example wood tones, high bay lighting and orange accents.
  • PowerPak’s team thrives in their new space, appreciating it’s spaciousness, modern feel and flexible work zones.
  • They were recently awarded a ‘2023 Great Place to Work’ meaning 90% of their employees say it is a great place to work compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S. based company.
