Keeley Construction Completing Mass Grading for DHL’s 100-Acre Development in Plainfield, IL

PLAINFIELD, IL (December 10, 2024) – Keeley Construction is close to completing the mass grading for a 100-acre site in Plainfield, IL, setting the stage for a future 1.2 million-square-foot development for DHL.

Work to be done in the spring includes moving 100,000 cubic yards of material and completing the plugs and landscape in the north pond.

The extensive site preparation included tree clearing, installation of a silt fence, and demolition of existing structures to ensure a strong foundation for the next phase of construction.

Additional key infrastructure improvements include:

  • The extension of 143rd Street to connect to Ridge Road
  • A 1-mile-long sanitary sewer expansion
  • Sanitary sewer installation exceeding 30 feet in depth in some areas

We’re excited to support DHL’s expansion with this critical phase of development,” said Bob Linahon, Senior Project Manager at Keeley Construction. “Our team is committed to delivering top-quality site preparation to ensure the long-term success of this project.”
