### Project Overview

To meet increasing demand, this ready-to-eat protein division of a large international company selected FPE to design and construct an expansion at one of their facilities. The project was phased to keep the plant in operation during the construction. The project involved adding two high-volume, automated processing lines that required a 25,000 sf renovation and expansion of this 95,000 sf operating facility.

Additional circulation space and shipping docks were added as part of the upgrades. Two new automated grinding, forming, cooking, freezing, and packaging lines were also added to the facility. Major infrastructure upgrades included capacity and distribution additions for ammonia refrigeration, natural gas, steam and condensate, water heating, compressed air, and electric systems.

All project planning, design, permitting and construction for the project were implemented by FPE.
