02 Coordinated Execution for a Safe, On-Time Remodel

Overcoming Access, Safety, and Scheduling Challenges in an Active Plant

Construction work had to be completed while the manufacturing plant remained fully operational.

The remodel was performed on the second floor, creating logistical and access challenges for material movement and construction activities.

Existing structural platforms required onsite modifications to support new installation requirements.

Additional second-floor access required exterior metal work and coordination within the active facility.

Multiple trades, including architectural finishes, technology systems, structured cabling, and FF&E, had to be carefully coordinated within an accelerated schedule.

All supervisors were required to be MSHA-certified and follow strict safety and operational protocols throughout the project.

Continuous coordination with the project owner was required throughout each stage of the design process, with supervisors actively involved in approvals, progress discussions, and decision-making to keep the project aligned.

The timeline was almost 2.5 months, requiring precise coordination to avoid delays or disruptions to plant operations.

03 The Solution

Coordinated Execution for a Safe, On-Time Remodel

To complete the remodel without disrupting plant operations, the project was carefully planned and completed in phases. The team coordinated closely with Martin Marietta facility personnel and onsite teams to manage daily work activities, material movement, safety access, and construction logistics. Because the remodel was located on the second floor, special attention was given to access and material handling. Exterior metal work was completed to add dedicated second-floor access, including a new entrance and staircase. Interior work, technology systems, structured cabling, MEP upgrades, and FF&E were coordinated to keep the project moving efficiently within the accelerated schedule. All supervisors were MSHA-certified and adhered to strict safety and operational protocols throughout the project. Because the work took place in an MSHA-regulated facility, safety and coordination were critical at every stage. The project involved 9–10 supervisors from our team, all of whom were MSHA-certified and responsible for maintaining strict safety, scheduling, and operational standards throughout the project.
