The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company’s Resin Processing Facilities
Miles-McClellan Tackles Complex New Build for Longtime Client ScottsMiracle-Gro
The Plan
For more than 25 years, we’ve served as a trusted construction partner to ScottsMiracle-Gro, delivering over 20 successful projects together. When setting out to build a new resin processing facility, they once again turned to Miles-McClellan. Our team was eager to take on the challenge of delivering another complex build with zero disruption to ongoing operations. From start to finish, the project demanded precision, creativity and seamless coordination. The Miles-McClellan team worked in and around ScottsMiracle-Gro’s fully operational production facility, carefully navigating manufacturing schedules, active worksites and frequent transportation of materials. Coordination was critical to avoid delays from unrelated electrical outages on campus, requiring proactive power planning. Amidst a constantly shifting environment of stop-and-start work conditions, maintaining momentum and project organization was a key challenge — and one our team met head-on. Over the course of the project, the team deployed three cranes, covered more than 51,000 square feet of site work and logged over 60,000 labor hours — all with zero reportable safety incidents. The construction was completed on schedule and within budget, despite ongoing operations, electrical interferences and chemical sensitivities beyond the team’s control.
