Subway Restaurant Interior Commercial Construction
When a Subway Restaurant had to be relocated, CPEX was chosen to buildout the new restaurant space.
Work began with the demolition of the former tenant’s space, all the way down to the four walls, concrete slab, and roof deck.
Then we built the new space which included:
- A new drive thru
- A new 400 amp electrical service
- Two new bathrooms
- A new electronically controlled grease interceptor

Challenge: The project had challenges immediately out of the gate. The plans called for an in-floor grease trap that Cobb County rejected, and redlined a grease interceptor, complete with electronic monitoring and alarms, which had a six-week lead time. So the slab plumbing could not be finalized, causing a six week delay.
Then, it was discovered that a high voltage electrical line that served the electrical transformer serving the space had been installed through the top half of the sewer line.
CPEX Solution: The solution to these was to frame walls over the open plumbing trenches in order to keep progress moving. Meanwhile, the sewer line had to be dug up in the rear service area, and the power company had to lift the line away from the damaged pipe so that it could be replaced, then the line set back on top of the new pipe.
Outcome: Despite the six week delay at the beginning of the project due to design errors and an unforeseen existing condition, CPEX still delivered the project in less than an additional six weeks.
An important part of the buildout came about from a surprise that the plumbing contractor uncovered.
It seems that when the power company installed the electric transformer in the back service area, they managed to cut through the sewer line, then lay the 5,000 volt wire powering the transformer across the top third of the cut pipe.
This could have led to a catastrophic injury to anyone attempting to clear a clog!
We had called in a utility locate, but they only located the power line horizontally, and did not locate the sewer line.
Everything stopped while we dug up the asphalt to locate the damaged section of pipe, and had the power company come lift the wire out of the pipe.
Thanks to locating equipment, the asphalt damage was kept to a minimum, and we were able to correct the situation before anyone was hurt.
