     Title: RW Completes Cell Production & Erecting in Bledsoe County
The Bledsoe County project was an expansion to an existing facility, the Southeastern Tennessee State Regional Correctional Facility, located in Pikeville, Bledsoe County TN, about 2.5 hours east of Nashville, TN. The addition consisted of five buildings containing 632 cells produced in a total of 156 quad cell modules and 4 double cell modules.

RW's onsite manufacturing model provided a substantial economic impact for the local community; providing employment and training, as well as utilizing businesses and contractors for the production and finish of the cell modules. At full production, 75% of the manufacturing facility's staff was employed from the local community and 60% of the raw materials required for the production of cell modules were procured from local suppliers.
