Gluten-Free Facility Expansion

Keen provided CM services for the Barilla Pasta Gluten-Free Facility Expansion, which included the addition of a gluten-free pasta line, a production mezzanine and equipment installation, storage, a 25,750 sq. ft. expansion and the conversion of existing plant space to a gluten-free process area. Our services included bid management, engineering management, subcontractor coordination, weekly contractor-owner meeting facilitation, scheduling, progress reporting, safety oversight and change management support. We also provided an onsite project manager and, under a separate contract, provided millwright services for equipment installation. Plant operations continued throughout the expansion, so adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) was critical.
