建设生命科学设施,造福我们的生活

生命科学行业影响着我们的生活——每一天. Be it a diagnostic test, a prescription medicine, or even treatments for animals, we all benefit from advances.

随着人口老龄化对产品需求的增加, 公共投资创历史新高,预计未来10年仅马萨诸塞州就有10亿美元的投资. This industry, 以前有很多可出租空间的选择, 是否积极寻求新的增长机会. 百家乐软件正在整个东北地区从事生命科学项目, including new development, 现有建筑物的翻新和租户的装修.

我们最近为ImmuCell完成了一个这样的项目, 总部位于缅因州的动物保健药物制造商. 我们担任施工经理,扩建他们波特兰总部的新大楼, 16,000 SF cGMP设施用于生产一种新的生物治疗在奶牛中发现的常见感染.

Immucell’s existing facility housed products regulated by the USDA; this new product requires more stringent FDA approval. 该公司决定为该产品建造一个新的设施,其中包括发酵空间, laboratory, processing and a storage warehouse.

就像任何新产品的开发一样, an aggressive schedule was required to have the facility up and running so they could adhere to their planned schedule for regulatory approvals; meaning the build-out had to happen over the course of 11 months.

为满足这一具有挑战性的施工进度,采取的一些措施包括:

施工在设计完成之前就开始了. cGMP设施分两期建设. 第一阶段是建造核心和外壳.  This process began in September of 2016, 在冬天到来之前尽可能多地完成是当务之急.  The second phase was the fit-out, 哪些生产设备的安装重点和支撑空间定制处理的独特制造工艺. 快速通道建设计划包括主要投标包, 如高纯度工艺管道和工艺控制阀及自动化, 以及长期领先的工艺相关设备.

  • Down-to-the-minute site coordination. 确保在项目中没有工时浪费, 现场的详细协调是至关重要的. 我们的团队使用了许多工具和流程来加快现场活动:
  • Technology. 利用BIM和3D技术确保我们的现场团队能够获得空间中所需的一切,以满足预期, 比如确保工作场所的公用设施和实验室都能安装在天花板上.
  • Materials verification. When building cGMP facilities, 项目的成功执行取决于团队对现场带来的每一件材料的核实责任. 在一个即使是最小的颗粒也能破坏生产和发酵过程的环境中, 我们的标准操作程序对设施建设后的操作至关重要.
  • Limited materials on site. Once materials were verified, 有一个精心调整的材料到达现场的时间表,这样他们就不会妨碍工人在装修阶段需要轻松地在房间之间移动. We also employed a “nothing hits the ground” strategy; any materials brought on site were on a cart or pallet so they could be picked up with a pallet jack or easily moved.
  • 协调供应商和行业之间的关系. 精益实践用于协调供应商安装设备时必须进行的大量协调, as well as between the trades. MEP承包商共享一个平台分期系统,以确保管道安全, conduit, 管道系统的安装也尽可能的高效. We did pull planning for all trades, 工头在哪里协调每个空间,以便下一个交易可以开始.

有机会参与开创性研究背后公司的成长和发展, innovative solutions and lifesaving cures, 让我们每天都为进步做出贡献.


百家乐软件 is constantly researching ways to make the construction process more efficient; from worker productivity to technological innovation. We recently embarked on a study of the daily protocols required by our workers in clean room environments; from entering the building through gowning up and other protocols. This data shows that almost one-fifth of a worker’s day can be spent on maintaining protocols; so we’re finding new ways we can minimize the time it takes our workers to begin daily tasks in clean room environments while still adhering to strict guidelines…thereby maximizing progress and reducing project schedules in the process.
