Case Study

Renovating and Expanding Industrial Process Infrastructure

Industrial manufacturing equipment in a modern factory with blue lighting

Introduction

BSI Engineering partnered with a leading industrial manufacturer to renovate an outdated facility and construct a new five-story building to support a modern industrial process. The project required extensive upgrades to utilities, the integration of advanced equipment, and careful adherence to safety and regulatory standards.

The result was a cutting-edge facility that optimized operational workflows, enhanced safety, and provided the scalability needed for future innovations.

Discovery

The client faced significant limitations with their existing facility, which lacked the infrastructure to accommodate new industrial processes and modern equipment. The outdated power, lighting, and fire safety systems posed operational risks, while the limited space restricted process efficiency and growth opportunities.

BSI Engineering conducted a comprehensive assessment of the facility, identifying key challenges and opportunities for improvement. It became clear that both a significant renovation of the existing structure and the construction of a new building would be required to meet the client’s operational needs and ensure compliance with safety and industry standards.

Research

BSI Engineering conducted a detailed review of project needs:

  • Utility Assessments: Evaluated power, HVAC, and fire safety systems for process compatibility.
  • Equipment Requirements: Identified infrastructure upgrades needed to support heavy industrial equipment.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Analyzed local and industry-specific codes for safety and efficiency.

Planning

BSI Engineering developed a detailed project plan, which included renovating the existing facility and constructing a new five-story building. The renovation involved upgrading power distribution, lighting, and fire safety systems to modern standards. The new structure was designed to house advanced industrial equipment and support future process expansions.

Utility upgrades were carefully planned to meet the increased operational demands, with systems optimized for energy efficiency and reliability. The facility layout was reimagined to streamline workflows and improve productivity, ensuring alignment with the client’s operational goals and timelines.

Delivery

BSI Engineering completed the project efficiently and effectively:

  • Construction Management: Ensured seamless integration of renovations and new construction.
  • Utility Upgrades: Installed advanced electrical, mechanical, and fire safety systems.
  • Process Integration: Equipped the facility with state-of-the-art tools and equipment.
