Industrial Constructors/ Managers, Inc. (ICM), a licensed, Colorado-based general contractor specializing in industrial construction and plant maintenance, today announced it has relocated to a significantly larger facility in Thornton, marking a major milestone in the company’s growth and commitment to the local economy. The move enables ICM to unify its Northern Colorado operations into a single, larger facility, while also expanding its steel fabrication, erection and welding capabilities, reducing the need to outsource work due to space constraints.
The new facility—which is located at 471 E. 124th Avenue in Thornton—represents a near-doubling of ICM’s previous footprint, expanding from a 31,000-square-foot building on three acres to a 60,000-square-foot facility on six acres. The most substantial upgrade is the steel fabrication shop, which has grown from 12,000 square feet to roughly 40,000 square feet.
The larger fab shop will enable ICM to fully leverage its advanced automated equipment, including two Dragons A400, which are CNC tube and pipe plasma cutting machines. Designed for precision fabrication, the machines cut, mark and engrave a range of materials such as steel, stainless steel and aluminum. The expanded facility also features a high-performance plasma cutting solution for metal plate materials, eliminating the need for manual cutting. This not only saves time and reduces costs, but improves overall efficiency and supports faster project completion.
The fabrication shop will continue to specialize in miscellaneous metal work, including handrails and stair systems, while also supporting overflow production from ICM’s Pueblo-based steel fabrication and pipefitting facilities. ICM’s Pueblo shops focus on steel fabrication and erection for heavy industrial projects, producing structural components such as beams and columns.
The move also consolidates operations by bringing ICM’s tool crib—previously housed in a separate warehouse—under one roof, further improving workflow and coordination.
“Our move to Thornton was primarily driven by the need for more office and shop space to support ICM’s continued growth,” said Jamie Hodges, executive vice president of ICM. “But it was also important to remain in an enterprise zone so that we can leverage state tax credits and continue to reinvest in the local economy. We’re excited to join the Thornton business community in a new facility that will allow us to significantly expand our steel fabrication and erection capacity and better serve clients locally, nationally and internationally.”
