Case Study: a pharmaceutical manufacturer improves purified water utility rooms with Sterling Engineering project management

a pharmaceutical manufacturer overhauls purified water rooms in 11 months with Sterling Engineering

A pharmaceutical manufacturer faced a significant challenge with the safety and accessibility of its purified water utility rooms. After years of additions, the piping system had become overly constricted, making maintenance costly and nearly impossible. Without in-house resources for a redesign, they engaged Sterling Engineering to provide project management services and oversee a complete overhaul.

Sterling Engineering managed a two-phase solution, first developing a conceptual design and then a detailed engineering package with an MEP partner. The results included relocating storage tanks, installing new water softeners, replacing piping, and updating fire protection systems across three utility rooms. The project was completed in 11 months, with Sterling managing an engineering budget of $106,000 and successfully delivering a safer, more functional water system for the pharmaceutical manufacturer.
