The Challenge
Meeting the Demands of an Accelerated Construction Schedule
Newburgh, NY sits at a strategic crossroads for trucking distribution in the Northeastern United States, making it the ideal site for Matrix Development Group's 565,000-square-foot warehouse. The $72 million facility was designed to be split between two major tenants, each a leader in its own sector:
AmerisourceBergen, one of America's largest pharmaceutical sourcing and distribution companies
AmScan, the world's largest designer, manufacturer, and distributor of decorated party goods and accessories
Beyond its scale, the project carried an aggressive construction schedule: 12-hour days Monday through Friday, 10-hour days on Saturdays, and frequent Sunday shifts.
Sustaining that pace without compromising structural integrity, material quality, or code compliance demanded a testing and inspection partner capable of moving at the same speed as the construction crews — without ever cutting corners.
The Solution
Comprehensive Testing & Inspection Services
Advance Testing, a SOCOTEC Company, was responsible for testing and inspecting the entire building, along with exterior elements including sidewalks, curbs, and parking lots. Our team's scope covered every major structural and material system on site:
Asphalt field inspection
Reinforcing steel inspection
Concrete testing
Floor flatness testing
Masonry and grout testing
Structural steel and bolting inspection
Welding inspection and ultrasonic weld testing
Laboratory testing
Building code special inspections
These inspections ran throughout the project's demanding shift schedule, keeping pace with the construction crews from foundation work through final structural steel connections.

Verify structural integrity across the full building and its surrounding sitework, from foundations to structural steel connections
Support code compliance throughout an accelerated, multi-shift construction schedule
Support the on-time delivery of two major tenant build-outs, for AmerisourceBergen's pharmaceutical distribution operations and AmScan's party goods distribution operations
