The Wacker C144 project is the interior build-out of a four-story, 139,101-square-foot industrial chip manufacturing facility in Charleston, Tennessee. It includes new office spaces, logistics areas, locker rooms, and break rooms. Manhattan also installed overhead coiling doors, high-speed fabric doors, overhead spiral coiling doors, oversized metal doors and frames, high-performance resinous flooring, polished concrete floors, high-performance coatings, and glazed aluminum window walls.
Manhattan provided interior fit-out, plumbing, and architectural components for the weather-tight, secured building.
The C144 Building is one component of the Wacker’s $2 billion closed-loop integrated production site specializing in polysilicon chip manufacturing for solar panels and photovoltaics. The facility has an annual capacity of 15,000 to 20,000 metric tons of hyperpure polycrystalline silicon for the growing photovoltaic and solar energy industries. This is the first such production site for Wacker in the United States.
