New Water Line
Faced with increasing product demands, the owner of a consumer products company invested in a multi-million dollar water line addition. This project added to the plants current carbonated beverage capability with the addition of a complete reverse osmosis process system and an entire PET packaging line, all within the existing facility walls.
Challenges:
- Fitting the process and packaging equipment inside an existing facility without a building expansion.
- Extensive layout work had to be done to obtain an efficient processing line.
- Minimize impact on existing operations during peak seasonal production.
- Sequential construction to accommodate rushed overseas vendor equipment deliveries.
Benefits:
- Line was able to exceed production and efficiency goals and meet the desired schedule.
- Facilities were greatly improved as a result: utilities, drain systems, filler room, floor coverings, wall remodeling, truck doors, fire protection.
