Since 2006, ICI has successfully
completed more than 30 new
construction, expansion and renovation
projects at Wal-Mart sites across the
United States. From Oregon to Missouri
to Wisconsin, ICI has continually met
and exceeded the expectations associated
with this client’s rigorous construction
program. As a result, our Wal-Mart
construction volume totals more than
$250 million.
ICI is well-versed in their stringent
processes and tight scheduling. One
of the initiatives that Wal-Mart
insists upon for each of its projects is
mandatory SWPPP Certification for
all Field Superintendents. The SWPPP
Certification guarantees environmental
compliance with the EPA and also
incorporates procedures for air quality
control. Currently, ICI employs more
than 15 SWPPP Certified Team
Members as well as an individual who is
a Certified Preparer of SWPPP.
Please see below for several examples of
ICI’s success with the expansions and
renovations of Wal-Mart Stores.
Crestwood, Illinois
The renovation and expansion of this
150,000 SF retail store in Crestwood was
completed in ten phases of construction.
Successful completion required heavy
coordination with operations staff and

construction of dust walls, the creation
of an alternate entrance, moving the
vision center to a double-wide trailer
during construction, and creating an
interim customer service area.
The site work was also phased to
accommodate pedestrians and traffic
patterns and included new grease
traps, sanitary service, electrical service,
independent bale and pallet storage and
a water service relocation.
The primary purpose of the renovation
was to incorporate a larger grocery
area into the existing footprint while
deleting the existing automotive center.
Grocery provisions include a new
compressor house along with new walk-
in coolers, freezers and refrigerated
cases. Refrigeration, electrical, and
EMS lines are fed underground through
refrigeration pits buried in exposed
integrally colored concrete slabs. The
refrigeration equipment requires an
additional electrical distribution center
fed from a new main switchboard.
Elk Grove Village, Illinois
ICI completed a 146,000 SF addition to
add a new grocery area for this Wal-Mart.
The project was completed in seven
phases and included renovation of the
existing 200,000 SF store to construct
a new Pharmacy, Dunkin Donuts and
Vision Center. Interior finishes included
new VCT, ceiling tile and painting
throughout the store. A mill and overlay
of the existing parking lot will also be
completed.

Level Two Renovations
For smaller renovation projects, the
scope is standardized and they are
referred to as “Level Two” Renovations.
Level 2 Renovations typically include
the remodel of areas like the pharmacy,
customer service, service centers, training
areas, TLE, tire/battery storage, garden
center, rest rooms, photo lab, offices,
grocery and vision centers. The majority
of the work takes place at night as not
to interrupt on-going operation of the
store.
Many projects take place at 24 hour
operational stores that require additional
temporary protection and site safety
practices to protect customers. These
projects are completed on very tight
9 - 10 week schedules and Wal-Mart
requires the projects to be completely
closed out, including change orders and
closeout documents, within thirty days
of completion of the work. Successfully
completing these projects on-time
requires a 100% “complete as you go”
mentality to turn over each area within
the allotted time frame.
