Spice Processing Factory Expansion and Upgradation
ITC Foods Limited | Oct, 2024 to On Going
Opportunity
The project involves expanding and upgrading ITC Spices Plant’s production facility to increase capacities and improve compliance with food safety and hygienic engineering standards, respectively. The key constraints included limited space, project budget and execution in an operational factory. The scope included conducting a gap assessment, developing cost estimates, architectural and structural drawings, civil tender documents, and bills of quantities, along with construction supervision and audits to ensure safe and quality work execution.
Solution
Essential structures such as power houses, pump rooms, fire reservoirs, and others are newly developed. Critical modifications within the existing infrastructure include revamping storage and processing areas, redesigning people and material movement, and incorporating fire protection measures. Common features include industrial-standard doors, window shutters, air curtains, and HVAC systems to improve operational efficiency. Additionally, external stairs and ramps are added to manage hazards and enhance safety, while utility management is optimized for efficient factory operations. For all scopes, detailed cost estimates, civil drawings, and procurement documents are developed. Our tailored solutions ensure optimal workflow and strict adherence to hygienic practices, maintaining both efficiency and compliance. Despite budget constraints, PMG provides value-driven outcomes focused on safety, functionality, and enhanced production processes.
Outcome
Through PMG’s expertise, ITC Spices Plant will achieve optimized space utilization for a streamlined and efficient workflow. Upgraded facilities will meet stringent food safety and hygienic engineering standards, ensuring structural integrity and high-quality execution. The balanced approach maintains both aesthetics and operational standards within a constrained budget, delivering safe and compliant production processes with minimal disruption during factory expansion.
