Hillis-Carnes was contracted to provide Construction Materials Testing and Inspection services for the new Kite Pharma Facility constructed on a 20-acre site in Urbana, Maryland. Kite Pharma, a biopharmaceutical company specializing in immunotherapies, used the site to manufacture various cancer medications. The facility comprised 62,000 SF of office space and 217,000 SF of manufacturing, plant, and shipping areas.

Hillis-Carnes’ scope of work included testing and inspecting the building foundation, foundation reinforcement, structural steel erection, cast-in-place concrete, mass grading, pavement, and utilities. The Urbana plant began commercial production by late 2021.
