Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems Corporation Carbon Manufacturing Facility
Carbon Manufacturing Facility


Unable to expand at its current location, ABSC initially gave Austin Consulting, The Austin Company’s site location consulting division, the challenge of finding the optimum location on which to build a new facility.
After extensive research and analysis, Austin Consulting recommended the Danville site. ABSC purchased the site and engaged The Austin Company to provide design-build services for the new carbon manufacturing facility. Austin began with preliminary design engineering efforts to determine the project scope, cost and schedule; then proceeded with full design-build services for the project.
Specialized equipment installed by Austin included 10-ton overhead cranes, cooling systems for the furnaces, afterburners for the waste gases, and cooling water control systems.
