Value Delivered
The client’s construction management partner chose Southern Industrial Constructors (SIC) to provide electrical power distribution, engineering, and installation services during the construction of a new processing facility for skincare products.
As a major stakeholder in electrical instrumentation and controls as well as equipment and module rack installation, SIC contributed valuable input for daily project and execution planning. We helped increase flow and collaboration between trade groups by coordinating the schedule, and we also helped reduce costs by sharing labor and equipment across our team.
Client Objectives
By constructing a greenfield facility and relocating lines from existing facilities, the client aimed to establish major production capabilities during a large, corporate-wide reconsolidation effort.
