Micron's Project Triton ID1 is part of a major semiconductor manufacturing expansion in Boise, Idaho, supporting the production of next-generation memory technology. Performance was awarded a portion of the C42A in-slab and underground drainage package, which included the installation of cast iron, epoxy-coated cast iron, PVC, and fusion-bonded plastic piping. The project marked Performance's first venture into this region, building on an established relationship with general contractor Exyte.

The Challenge
The project presented a unique combination of geological, logistical, and scheduling challenges. The site was situated on an ancient lava bed, requiring extensive rock excavation to establish the necessary building elevations. A heavy civil contractor conducted daily blasting operations, reaching depths of up to 40 feet, to break through the rock formation. The excavated material was then crushed and repurposed as backfill to establish the required underground piping elevations. These unusual site conditions created a challenging construction environment that demanded careful coordination between excavation, backfill operations, and underground piping installations.
Compounding these challenges was an extremely aggressive construction schedule requiring continuous collaboration among multiple trade partners. As Performance's first project in the region, the team also had to navigate unfamiliar local contractors, establish relationships with new subcontractors, and adapt to a different construction environment while maintaining the high safety and quality standards expected on a major semiconductor manufacturing project.
What We Did Differently
The combination of daily blasting operations, extensive rock processing, and an accelerated construction schedule required flexibility and proactive field coordination. Performance worked alongside Exyte and other trade partners to align underground piping installations with evolving site conditions and construction activities. By prioritizing teamwork, responsiveness, and coordinated planning, Performance was able to contribute to a highly collaborative project environment while addressing the unique challenges of constructing a semiconductor facility on an ancient lava bed.
