“High impact” is the defining characteristic of the $9 million cold rooms project for Sigma-Aldrich Corporation. McCarthy renovated process equipment and associated piping and controls used for production of aqueous chemicals and replaced two, 200HP boilers in 120 days within an operating plant and around various other processes.

Self performance of critical work such as steel and concrete enabled McCarthy crews to complete the project under budget and five days earlier than planned. To contain costs and maintain the schedule, McCarthy led daily “issue” review meetings with Sigma’s operations and engineering forces to insure proper installation for successful use and to eliminate punch list/rework. A site specific quality plan included several innovations such as mock-ups of pipe welds, connections, and transfer racks, and weekly formal, documented, quality walk-downs with the owner and subcontractors. Overall,tThe project logged 40,000 man hours and achieved zero recordables and zero injuries. Site specific safety orientation and training kept workers safe each day.
