Renovation Project at Pharmaceutical Warehouse – Hines, IL
Scope
Renovation of 24,552 SF at the Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) Warehouse in Hines, IL, including fire suppression, employee egress, storage upgrades, and a new speed lane gate to improve efficiency and safety.
Purpose
Critical Prescriptions to Veterans: Our construction work helps deliver critical prescriptions to veterans by renovating the Warehouse with increased storage capacity, modernized fire suppression, and improved safety systems
Project Challenges
Active 24/7 facility: Construction had to proceed without disrupting ongoing warehouse operations.
Complex logistics: A rooftop unit was lifted and installed in the center of the facility by helicopter. This method was selected as safer and less disruptive than using a large crane, which would have taken longer and impacted parking and staff access.
Careful coordination: Work sequencing was critical to keep staff safe and daily functions running smoothly.
Project progress
On time. On budget: Project was completed ahead of schedule with minimal change orders.
Enhanced operations: Staff gained improved storage, temperature control, secure access control with speed lane consoles and safer exit routes.
Positive client feedback: CMOP staff praised the upgrades and expressed interest in future collaboration.
This project was completed in partnership with Bridger Construction.
