Toyota Megasite

NCDOT Division 8 required over 1,000 acres of site grading and 18 million yards of earthwork for the future Toyota Battery Manufacturing site.

DRMP is providing CEI services through NCDOT Division 8 On-Call for site inspection responsibilities for this $600 million project. The project consists of site grading over 1000 acres on a 1800-acre site for Toyota Battery Manufacturing. The project is estimated to have over 18 million yards of earthwork, including 6 million yards of rock excavation. The project includes three new interchanges on US 421 (Future I-685) adjacent to the site; water and sewer lines are to be installed; and the relocation of a 525 KW Transmission line around the site. A new 100 KW line is being constructed to the site for an onsite substation. The project currently has over 300 large pieces of equipment, including Cat 395 excavators, Cat 777 off road trucks, Komatsu 1250 excavator, Cat 631 pans, and Cat D10 Dozers. Project coordination included working with stakeholders from the City of Greensboro, Duke Energy, AT&T, Randolph Telephone, Randolph County, and many other utility companies. All work is to be completed in two years.

The CEI services provided by DRMP will allow for accurate and successful project completion as the area continues to require infrastructure updates due to growth.
