Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking more than $20 billion worth of projects that are under construction in Tennessee. While the projects vary greatly by type, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) project at a uranium-processing plant and projects involving electric vehicles (EVs) and their components make a up a substantial portion of the spending.
The Y-12 National Security Complex, a uranium-processing facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was built as part of the Manhattan Project in the 1940s for the purpose of manufacturing the U.S.' first atomic bombs. According to engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Bechtel Corporation (Reston, Virginia), Y-12's uranium facilities are dated and deteriorating, prompting the National Nuclear Security Administration to launch the project for a "modern facility with a design life of at least 50 years to ensure the long-term viability, safety and security of [nuclear defense] capabilities in the United States."
Work to update the facility began in 2018 and is expected to be completed in 2025. The overall project consists of several pieces, including work on the main processing building and the mechanical electrical building, the addition of a wastewater treatment plant and more. Work on the main processing building includes the construction of a three-level, 242,000-square-foot building to house casting and chemical recovery processes, as well as a connector to the Highly Enriched Materials Facility.

Outside of the Great Lakes region, the Southeast market region of the U.S. has become a leading location for automotive manufacturing, and the automotive sector accounts for billions of dollars of projects underway in the state, with Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) (Dearborn, Michigan) being one of the primary spenders as it expands production for all-electric versions of its F series of trucks. The company is establishing an EV battery-manufacturing plant and vehicle-assembly plant for the electric F-Series in Stanton, about 50 miles northeast of Memphis.
The facilities are collectively known as Blue Oval City. The battery plant, which is being constructed with joint venture partner SK Innovation (Seoul, South Korea), will supply the truck assembly plant and is expected to produce about 43 gigawatt-hours of batteries per year. Both it and the assembly plant are expected to be completed in 2025. Subscribers can learn more by viewing the reports on the battery plant and vehicle-assembly plant.
More than 150 miles away in Spring Hill, Tennessee, near Nashville, Ultium Cells LLC (Lordstown, Ohio)--another joint venture of a U.S. automaker and a South Korean company, this time General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) (GM) (Detroit, Michigan) and LG Chem (Seoul)--is underway with construction on a 2.8 million-square-foot building complex that will supply battery cells to GM's Spring Hill assembly plant, which will manufacture the electric Cadillac LYRIQ. The plant is expected to begin production in late 2023. Subscribers can click here for the project report.
Facebook parent Meta Platforms Incorporated (NASDAQ:META) (Menlo Park, California) is expanding its Tennessee footprint through construction of a data center complex in Gallatin, northeast of Nashville. Construction on Phase I kicked off in 2020 and includes two data center buildings totaling approximately 982,500 square feet. Construction of a second phase, which includes an additional 673,000 square feet of building space, began in 2022. General contractor DPR Construction (Redwood City, California) is expected to complete both phases this year. For more details, subscribers can view the project reports for Phase I and Phase II.
Tennessee Valley Authority (Knoxville) is adding new capacity to its Johnsonville Combustion Turbine Plant in New Johnsonville, Tennessee. The 10 natural gas-fired combustion turbines will be configured in a simple-cycle configuration to provide 500 megawatts of power to the plant. In a nod toward future emissions reduction, the turbines will be capable of firing hydrogen. EPC firm Burns & McDonnell Incorporated (Kansas City, Missouri) is expected to complete the project in late 2024. Subscribers can click here for the project report.
Few U.S. states are without at least one project from e-commerce giant Amazon.com Incorporated (NASDAQ:AMZN) (Seattle, Washington), and Tennessee boasts five of them, primarily for distribution and delivery centers. Such projects include Project Pearl, near Alcoa. The project entails constructing a 634,800-square-foot building featuring 50 loading docks and 272 trailer parking spaces with supporting equipment to pick, pack and ship smaller items such as books, electronics and consumer goods. Construction kicked off in early 2021 and is currently wrapping up. Subscribers can click here for the Alcoa project report and here for all of Amazon's projects in the state.
