Grassroots Solid Dosage
Filling Facility
Our firm built this $30 million, state-of-the-art facility
for Purdue Pharmaceuticals that formulates medications
for pain relief and asthma. The scope of work included
preparation of the 49-acre site and construction of
the 140,000 sf precast concrete building, which includes
offices, manufacturing and warehouse space, and utility
installation. The facility features Class 10,000 and
Class 100 cleanrooms with systems for laminar air flow,
HEPA filtering and positive air pressure, and it has
quality control plant support laboratories. In just
10 months, the owner was able to move into the facility,
which was fully completed two months after occupancy.
The project was delivered on schedule and under budget.
After completing the original facility, our firm was
awarded an additional design-build project to install
a solid dosage manufacturing line in the existing facility.
Additional Work
Since constructing the original facility, our firm has
been actively supporting Purdue Pharmaceuticals to expand
and renovate the facility to meet ever-changing market
conditions. The list of small projects includes:
• Interior renovations
• 400-ton chiller addition
• Warehouse humidification addition
• Site utilities addition
• Parking lot addition
• Third packaging area addition
• Existing lab renovation
• Security upgrades
• Equipment lift installation
All of the above assignments were completed during normal
working hours and without interrupting production with
the exception of chiller and steam tie-ins that were
made during a scheduled one-week shutdown.
