Vicor Corporation- Andover, MA

95,000 sf expansion of Vicor’s existing manufacturing space in Andover, MA.  Vicor Corporation is a leading global high-performance power company focused on developing high-density power modules, and the expansion creates the world’s first ChiP (Converter housed in Package) fabrication facility, or “ChiP fab,” which sets the standard for scalable high-volume, cost-effective and reliable power module manufacturing in the United States.  The ChiP fab enables innovative power solutions that deliver compact and highly efficient modular power units for a wide array of fields, including data center, automotive, aerospace/satellite, robotics and unmanned aerial vehicles, to name few.

A major design requirements of the 2-story expansion was meeting strict vibration criteria, exceeding 2000 mips over the full floor plate.

H+O Structural Engineering is the expert in structural design and optimization.  We help commercial real estate projects across the nation go smoothly and cost-effectively.

Do you know how much you could be saving on your building structure costs?

We help developers save an average of $800,000 in structure costs per project.

How is that possible? Structure costs are not something structural engineers typically measure, making it impossible for them – and you – to understand the cost implications of each design decision.

Seemingly insignificant design decisions greatly impact the bottom line.
