Selection Based on AdvanceTEC's Execution and Integration Approach on First Phase of VBF Facility
Richmond, VA, March 29, 2011 - AdvanceTEC, a leader in cleanroom design and construction, today announced that it has been selected for the cleanroom construction of Merck's VBF Program facility expansion. The project expands Merck's state of the art high-volume manufacturing vaccine plant in Durham, NC. This construction award marks yet another AdvanceTEC project working for Jacobs Engineering in a design assist and construction capacity to serve Merck.
"Through the success of the original construction of the VBF facility as well as numerous other key projects with Merck and Jacobs Engineering, AdvanceTEC has proven that we can be counted on to do what it takes to produce world-class quality on schedule"." noted Bryan Phelan, AdvanceTEC managing partner and director of sales, marketing and preconstruction services. "This selection underscores the high performance of our team on the original construction of the VBF facility, and we will apply the same top talent on this expansion to VBF. Our goal is to be the top performing contractor on the project for quality, schedule, and safety-which was our same goal on the original project. Based on this contract by Jacobs I'd say we attained our goal on the previous project."
The VBF expansion also marks an expansion in AdvanceTEC's previous project scope. AdvanceTEC clearly demonstrated their ability to put forward solutions to address challenges and as a result AdvanceTEC will be responsible for a higher level of project integration. Key to this solutions based ability is AdvanceTEC's open market approach. This approach allows them to provide the systems and solutions from various manufacturers that are best suited for the client's project based on criteria such as performance, cost, project schedule and aesthetics, and integrate them to an application responsive project.
