THE ASK
SpaceX urgently required more manufacturing, building and testing space for its spacecraft, including the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch reusable vehicles.
HOW SPRUNG DELIVERED
Having seen first-hand how Sprung had performed in supplying Tesla with a Model 3 car production facility in only 19 days, SpaceX turned to Sprung to design and engineer three 150-foot-wide structures. Within a few weeks of receiving the order, Sprung delivered all three innovative structures and developed a unique anchoring system on two levels of containers to accommodate the additional height clearance needed for the Falcon 9 project. Sprung also provided a customized door large enough to handle manufactured rockets. Sprung continues to innovate alongside SpaceX by supplying smaller storage structures, facility upgrades and new door systems to perfect manufacturing efficiency.
THE SPECS
- Two structures 150’ wide x 375’ long
- One structure 150’ wide x 345’ long
- Special two-container anchoring system
- Customized door size
