Minute Maid - Relocation of Chilled Manufacturing Line
ACL, together with SSOE, were selected as the design-build team for the relocation of a chilled juice manufacturing line for Coca-Cola, Ltd. This was one of the phases of an $18.1 million project for Alberici Constructors at the Peterborough facility. The project also included a chilled and frozen finished goods warehouse.
The project consisted of the renovation and conversion of an existing chilled warehouse space into a new GMP production space. The process modifications included changes to the plant bulk storage systems, installation of a new blend system and TetraPak pasteurizer, relocation of an Evergreen filler and installation of a new casepacker with relocated carton/case conveyors and palletizer for the new juice process system. This renovation work was completed during normal plant production time and required coordination with scheduled plant operation periods.
The new process equipment installation and relocation of the filler from the Mississauga plant was performed by Alberici millwrights. Other trades self-performed by Alberici included civil, structural and piping along with the millwright work.
Process improvements also included the installation of a dedicated new utility infrastructure. This included two process chillers, cooling tower, boiler, CIP system and power feed to the facility.
Alberici purchased the blend system pre-mix and blend tanks, sanitary valves, air handlers, chillers, boiler and transformer. This helped to maintain control over deliveries and construction sequencing.
Alberici led a formal value engineering session during the design development stage that identified $4.5 million in potential savings, resulting in Coca-Cola, Ltd. selecting $2.7 million of these items.
