Ford Engine Plant: Chihuahua, Mexico

In 2008 Commercial Contracting Corporation was given the opportunity to work on an engine plant project in Chihuahua, Mexico for Ford Motor Company of England. The plant was to be used to build Ford’s new 4.4 and 6.7 liter diesel engine, code named ‘Scorpion’, that would be found in their F‐Series work trucks.

Ford invested $838 million to refurbish the 750,000 square foot plant which was originally built in 1982. For CCC the project was two‐phased. Phase one began with the installation of plant utility piping loops and phase two with the installation of machining equipment used throughout the plant. Upon completion, CCC had run more than 61,000 square feet of piping and over 170 machines used in head and block lines.

The end result is a production plant that houses almost 700 employees and has a 428,000 engine capacity.
