12 months duration
The challenge
About three months into the construction of a new instant milk formula plant, FPC replaced the Contractor that initially started this project. Taking over from another Contractor was no simple task. With milk due to arrive at the plant in early September, the client team was facing an unshakeable deadline and needed expert help, fast.
The solution
Subcontracting through Tetra Pak, FPC took the reins. We fast-trackedthe design process, and got the complex job done to an impeccably high standard. As an infant formula facility, the project had to follow an unusually high degree of food safety hygiene. FPC rose to the challenge, making sure the facility passed regulatory inspections with flying colours. All with ample time to spare before the milk’s arrival.
The value: Our strong partnerships
FPC believes in building ongoing partnerships, not one-off projects. Since first working with Babbage Consultants and Tetra Pak, we’ve collaborated on a range of further projects – creating an outstanding working relationship, and delivering a number of outstanding solutions.
