Manufacturing and industrial facilities have complex design and construction requirements. You need a partner who understands those complexities. Our professionals have experience in the pre-capital financing, planning, design and construction of aerospace, automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and steel facilities, among others.
Our multidisciplinary staff can provide complete design and construction services that support heavy industrial work and all associated systems, from material fabrication to wastewater treatment to electrical power generation or grid interconnection. We can help you develop or fine tune your food and consumer product manufacturing lines, from ingredient handling and process design to packaging and shipping.
And we can help you maximize your return on investment from your facilities, as our Lean Six Sigma black belts assist in implementing optimized processes that increase efficiency and eliminate waste and variation. Our capabilities also include integrating robotics and automation processes and automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) into your production lines, as well as startup and commissioning processes to support efficiencies. We can assist in implementing smart manufacturing principles and technologies to increase flexibility and adaptability.
What makes us different:
- Front-End Planning: The Construction Industry Institute (CII) front-end planning (FEP) practices are integral to our project delivery.
- Design Engineering: We provide layout integration, equipment selection, detailed design and construction for quality processing facilities.
- Quality Control: Our quality control (QC) program is based on project team and independent reviews. A series of QC steps guide the project timeline.
- Procurement: Our team has experience in bid tabulations, equipment purchasing, expediting and equipment delivery tracking.
- Estimating: Our estimators draw on wide experience and capabilities to develop several levels of estimates using commercially available software and extensive in‐house cost databases. We work with subcontractors when detailed labor and productivity estimates are required.
- Scheduling: Our in-house schedulers work with the project team to develop detailed schedules via computer-based project scheduling software such as Oracle Primavera and Microsoft Project.
- Cost Controls: We offer a total project management package of integrated schedule, cost and resource data. Our combined approach to managing these key factors and other performance measures keeps your project on track.
- Construction: Construction management specialists provide important information during conceptual planning that can affect site layout and accessibility, construction interfaces, and temporary services such as water, power and fire protection. Our construction managers are long‐term professional employees with experience in constructing food facilities. Our design professionals have field assignment experience to seamlessly integrate with construction teams and partners.
- Operating & Maintenance: With extensive industry background, our team knows how to work effectively in operating plants, minimizing downtime and focusing on good manufacturing practice (GMP) compliance and food safety.
- Competitive Equipment/Subcontractor Bid Packages: We develop clear and concise bid packages and specifications for competitive bid of equipment and construction subcontracts.
Startup & Commissioning Planned Across the Life Cycle
By integrating our startup resources early in the design phase, we establish a smooth path from design into construction, then into a fully operational unit. Our specialists work side-by-side with you staff to bring your facility projects safety and efficiently online. Quality assurance processes are built in. Our custom process includes these value-added services:
- Chemical cleaning and steam blowing
- Maintenance planning, support and execution
- Outage planning, scheduling and coordination
- Pre-commissioning and commissioning support
- Process reviews and studies
- Scheduled turnaround and plant outages
- Technical evaluation and troubleshooting
