El Paso, TX – Schneider Electric, a global leader in electrical components, digital automation, and energy management, is advancing a major expansion of its El Paso manufacturing campus. Jordan Foster Construction has been the general contractor and trusted partner throughout the master planning and design phases, collaborating closely with Schneider Electric and Plexxar Investments to modernize and expand the company’s electrical equipment facilities, ensuring they align with Schneider Electric’s growing operational needs.

Since first partnering with Schneider Electric in 2020—and completing the company’s most recent building in 2022—Jordan Foster Construction has built a strong, collaborative relationship. For this expansion, the team took a proactive approach, thoroughly evaluating current manufacturing operations to understand space requirements and workflows. This insight has guided the reconstruction of efficient, purpose-built manufacturing spaces tailored to Schneider Electric’s production processes. The project adds a sixth building to the campus, addressing the need for increased manufacturing capacity and accommodating updated equipment critical to the company’s continued growth.

Jordan Foster Construction’s involvement extends beyond traditional construction, with the Building Group providing design and constructability reviews to ensure the new facility incorporates the latest manufacturing capabilities. This strategic partnership supports Schneider Electric’s adoption of innovative building approaches that enhance efficiency and long-term adaptability. A notable example is the work of Jordan Foster Construction’s in-house Infrastructure Group, which accelerated the schedule and reduced on-site congestion by prefabricating retaining wall frames off-site. These components are being built off-site and delivered for rapid installation, minimizing disruption and keeping the project on track.

This collaboration between Schneider Electric, Plexxar Investments, and Jordan Foster Construction is laying the groundwork for the next phase of growth at the El Paso campus, positioning Schneider Electric as a global leader in its field and ensuring it remains competitive and ready to meet future market demands.

El Paso, TX – El Paso Electric (EPE) has selected Jordan Foster Construction’s Commercial and Infrastructure divisions to expand their Eastside Operations Center (EOC) Facility. This partnership showcases a shared commitment to meeting the growing energy demands of the Eastlake Boulevard area, driven by recent residential, retail, and industrial development and growth.

Ash Kamath, Vice President of Commercial Division at Jordan Foster, said, “Jordan Foster Construction has partnered with El Paso Electric to build an expansion to their existing facility to align with their goals of long-term reliability and operational security of our region’s energy supply.”

The EOC Facility Expansion is a significant milestone in EPE’s efforts to deliver reliable electricity. This critical upgrade will strengthen EPE’s power grid by reducing voltage from high-capacity transmission lines, ensuring efficient power distribution to meet the energy needs of residents and businesses. The expansion will enhance energy delivery to critical areas, enabling EPE to maintain safe, reliable, and innovative energy operations that adapt to the community’s evolving needs. This investment marks a proactive step towards enhancing the reliability and resilience of the company’s energy systems.

As the lead general contractor, Jordan Foster’s commercial division oversees the EOC plans and designs in partnership with design teams, prioritizing time management and budget considerations, particularly in the face of rising costs. On the infrastructure side, the skilled internal concrete team is building a strong foundation that enhances both functionality and durability—improving the site through essential civil improvements, including dirt work, grading, pond upgrades and the construction of robust concrete structure walls for tilt-ups.

Jordan Foster Construction draws inspiration from EPE’s mission, which embodies a commitment to creating a brighter, more sustainable future for its service region. Their dedication to investing in high-quality, impactful infrastructures align perfectly with a shared vision for lasting community development. Together, with a shared sense of purpose, we are forging a path toward resilience, innovation, and well-being. As a community-connected construction company, Jordan Foster Construction seizes the opportunity to partner in these transformative efforts, ensuring that our work today lays the groundwork for a better tomorrow.

El Paso, TX – Leaders from El Paso County, Huitt Zollars Architects, and Jordan Foster Construction gathered to sign the final beam in the Fabens Airport Hangar, marking the completion of three hangar buildings.

“The beam signing is a testament to the collaborative spirit and shared vision of all those involved in this important project for our region,” said John Goodrich, President of the Infrastructure Division at Jordan Foster. The increase in air traffic that the hangar provides to and through El Paso County will benefit the local agricultural community and serve as a significant tool for economic development.

This project exemplifies the powerful synergy between the two divisions of Jordan Foster Construction, all driven by a shared vision: to transform the site with innovative vertical and horizontal designs. The commercial division has successfully constructed three state-of-the-art hangars, each covering 100 square feet, while the infrastructure division is committed to developing a robust concrete taxiway and a reliable asphalt access road. Additionally, they are not only integrating essential utility services but also upgrading the outdated sewage system with a modern 8-inch sanitary sewer line, ensuring a sustainable and efficient future for the site.

“The Fabens Hangar project is more than a space to house aircraft—it stands as a testament of our commitment to technological innovation, educational opportunity, and meaningful community engagement in the field of aerospace engineering.” said Ash Kamath, Vice President of Commercial Division at Jordan Foster. This partnership addresses not only our current requirements but also strategically positions the site for future growth, with potential for additional hangars and enhanced interior facilities. The interior design of the hangars will feature educational spaces, including classrooms, developed in collaboration with community partners such as the University of Texas at El Paso’s aerospace program. This initiative not only fosters workforce development but also deepens our commitment to the community, creating a lasting impact for all involved.
