PROJECT
This new manufacturing facility was constructed of fifty-two modular units imported from Europe. L.R. Costanzo’s work scope for the project was to provide additional space in the facility by constructing a second floor addition to accommodate a conference room, office space, and break area. The second portion of the project was to provide a uniform façade for the entire structure. Also constructed were a collection tank, process piping and controls to automate the facility’s phenol supply and removal throughout the production area.
CHALLENGES
- Start up and commissioning of production spaces underway during construction

SOLUTIONS
