Horsham Facility Renovations
Contract Services | Pennsylvania
This leading laboratory testing and research client acquired a 109,000-square-foot building to enhance and expand its operations. PROTECS was chosen to provide pre-construction and construction management services for several business units in the organization. This project delivered primary and secondary packaging, cGMP warehouse, DEA storage, cold storage, mixed-use laboratory, manufacturing, packaging, R&D development, and office space.
The project involved relocating and installing equipment from the existing facility to the new one, including walk-in fridges and freezers, fume hoods, bio-safety cabinets, blenders, and autoclaves. Other process and service utility equipment, including a boiler, a dust collector (added later in the project), a DI skid, and air compressors, were installed. PROTECS provided Eurofins with a guaranteed maximum price ($GMP) for the project, which was completed on time and under budget.

Coordinating with existing operations to relocate manufacturing, laboratory, and cold storage functions without interruption to their operations.
Re-purposing existing and new pre-purchased equipment to suit the major design change.
Upgrading the existing electrical service to make it code-compliant and incorporating a fire protection system upgrade mid-way through the project to allow for enhanced storage capability.
