O’Brien & Gere was retained by this Fortune 500 pharmaceutical manufacturer to develop the basis of design for potable water distribution system upgrades at one of its manufacturing facilities in the Northeast. The objectives of the project were to eliminate identified water distribution system piping containing lead-based joints; replace two existing storage tanks that had been converted to potable water tanks; provide storage, volume, and pressure to support both current potable water system demands and anticipated growth; and provide potable water to the inlet of the deionized water treatment system. Design and construction of the new facilities are complete.
