Protein Extraction Expansion

Keen was engaged as the EPCM, delivering a complex facility capacity expansion for a food-grade protein production facility in Kansas. We developed a trade construction team to complete the project and were responsible for integrating process equipment vendors.

The project had both dry and wet process components and included extensive coordination, scheduling, quality assurance and safety management beyond day-to-day construction management. This retrofit touched all areas of the facility, including integral operating lines, which must be protected to ensure operator safety as well as food safety.

Using our Lean scheduling practices and detailed quality assurance process, we ensured all process lines were installed correctly and effectively documented progress and quality control of all installed equipment and systems. Keen completed this project three months ahead of schedule and under budget.
