Situation:
The 3M Company urgently needed to convert an existing storage facility into a Medical Warehouse. JJ White Inc. was brought in to complete the general, mechanical, and electrical contracting services for the 440,000 square foot building.
Challenges:
Due to upcoming company plans, 3M needed to convert the facility in under 6 months. The warehouse needed a new transformer, primary services, and a utility infrastructure for electrical services.
Solutions:
The project was placed on an urgent schedule, with accelerated project delivery requirements. JJ White also brought in a multi-discipline workforce to efficiently take on the varied tasks associated with the project. The multi-disciplinary crew allowed general, mechanical, and electrical work to be carried out simultaneously, helping to keep the project within 3M’s accelerated timeframe.
Results:
JJ White crews converted the warehouse in the record time of four months compared to similar projects taking between 12-18 months. The project was safely completed on-time and on-budget.
