Overview

Building the Future of EV Manufacturing

UPI supported construction of Ford's BlueOval Battery Park in Marshall, Michigan — a greenfield EV battery manufacturing campus that will produce lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells for Ford's next generation of electric vehicles. As one of the largest EV battery facilities under construction in North America, the project represents a major investment in the future of domestic battery manufacturing.

The Challenge

Building a world-class EV battery manufacturing campus from the ground up requires reliable infrastructure, precise mechanical execution, and a contractor capable of supporting fast-paced construction on one of the industry's largest projects.

The Solution

UPI delivered an integrated construction solution by providing both civil and site utility infrastructure alongside battery equipment installation. Our teams installed the underground utility networks that support the campus while executing process piping, utility connections, and mechanical equipment installation throughout the battery production facility. By self-performing critical scopes and coordinating seamlessly with project partners, UPI helped keep construction progressing efficiently while meeting the demanding quality, safety, and schedule requirements of a next-generation EV manufacturing facility.
