Porcelain and quartz manufacturing facilities are highly specialized environments where building structure, utilities, and process equipment must function as a single, coordinated system. Success depends not only on understanding the manufacturing flow, but on aligning early with the equipment partners responsible for presses, kilns, spray dryers, material handling, and finishing systems.

 

T.W. Frierson has delivered multiple operational tile manufacturing facilities in close coordination with the industry’s leading equipment manufacturers, millwrights, and installation teams. Through these projects, our teams have developed working relationships with the partners who design, supply, and commission the systems that drive production.

 

This familiarity allows us to anticipate interface requirements, coordinate sequencing more effectively, and align construction activities with equipment delivery and installation timelines. Rather than learning these relationships during execution, we bring an understanding of how these teams work, and how best to support them in the field.

 

The result is smoother coordination, fewer surprises during installation, and a clearer path from construction through startup and steady-state production.
