Advancing Next-Generation EV Manufacturing
Southern Industrial Contractors (SIC) was selected by Hyundai Motor Group to support the development of its $7.6 billion EV and battery manufacturing facility near Savannah. Spanning more than 2,900 acres, the advanced “metaplant” will produce 300,000 electric vehicles annually for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis brands while integrating AI-driven smart factory technologies and battery production in partnership with LG Energy Solution.
Our technical scope included:
➜ Site Development: Approximately 15 million cubic yards of excavation and embankment, along with large-scale clearing and grubbing operations across the megasite.
➜ Heavy Civil Infrastructure: Installation of storm drainage systems, box culverts, sanitary sewer, fire loop utilities, and erosion control measures supporting long-term site resiliency.
➜ Structural and Concrete Construction: Construction of equipment foundations, building foundations, floor slabs, and structural steel fabrication for over 16 million square feet of new industrial facilities.
➜ Industrial Paving: Placement of asphalt paving, aggregate base course, curb and gutter, and concrete pavement throughout the campus infrastructure.
SIC has safely executed more than 1.68 million manhours with zero safety losses while performing over $200 million in contract work. Once completed, this facility will establish a new benchmark for advanced EV manufacturing and smart industrial infrastructure in North America.
