Abstract
US Synthetic is a synthetic diamond manufacturing company located in Orem, Utah. Over the last ten years, US Synthetic has nearly doubled its employee count and annual revenue. In 2011, US Synthetic added a third building to its campus to increase its production of synthetic diamonds.
Building 3 was designed and built to be connected to a future building. With company growth continuing as expected, US Synthetic contracted Diamond Engineering to design Building 4.
Diamond Engineering’s design of Building 4 will offer the client nearly 40,000 square feet of additional administrative and production space. Building 4 will tie into Building 3 and will match the campus’s aesthetic style.
Building 3 was built with tilt-up concrete walls and a steel frame. Diamond Engineering evaluated three other alternatives along with tilt-up concrete in order to present US Synthetic with other options that could possibly be more economical.
