Companies in the chemicals industry have a substantial stock of buildings and plant. It often makes more sense to optimize existing laboratories and manufacturing and logistics buildings rather than build new ones, not only for ecological reasons but above all to save time. Drees & Sommer’s industry experts give you full support in dealing with this complex challenge.

What Challenges Do You Face?

• You are faced with constantly changing requirements and processes, as well as ever-changing demand for products.
• You have to carry out complex renovation and alteration works in existing laboratory, manufacturing and logistics buildings without disrupting daily operations.
• You are about to embark on extensive projects to modernize, modify or replace your plant technology on the basis of the latest security standards.
• You want to future-proof existing manufacturing or research buildings and plants that are ageing, reaching the end of their useful lives, or are affected by compliance requirements.
• You are facing a considerable backlog of maintenance and repairs in properties and large plants.

Our Approach
