Custom Laboratory Construction
Our firm provided construction management services for the core and shell, interior fit-out and site work for a new 258,000sf complex for DPT Laboratories. The project was constructed under cGMP and the entire complex is served by a chilled water mechanical system and new electrical service and utility infrastructure. The complex includes:
- a warehouse with environmental rooms and loading docks
- a 47,600sf research and development laboratory
- office building
- a 2,500sf hazardous materials storage structure
- clean rooms
MEP and Value Engineering–
A Perfect Match
The 209,000sf tilt-wall warehouse included construction of environmental rooms and loading docks. The environmental rooms require that set temperatures for storing certain chemicals be maintained round the clock. This required significant mechanical and electrical system installation. The rooms, both hot and cold, are set to temperatures below zero and above 80 degrees for different chemicals. Mechanical and electrical hook ups were precise and tied into the new back up generator our staff assisted in installing. Our staff used our significant global purchasing power to obtain mechanical and electrical equipment on time and while achieving budget reductions—saving both time on the schedule and money for the client. By providing value engineering services, our firm reduced the budget and saved DPT Laboratories $2M on this project.
