THE CHALLENGE

Replace Critical Cip and Air Systems in a Live Production Facility — with Virtually Zero Downtime.

Albertsons needed to modernize essential Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Air Farm infrastructure without halting production for extended periods.

Every minute of outage equals lost production. The project required three separate outages of less than four hours each, with perfect execution and zero unplanned disruptions.

Key Constraints
  • Three outages only
  • Maximum 4 hours per outage
  • Active production facility
  • Zero tolerance for overruns
DPS Solution
Engineered, prefabricated, and staged every component off-site. Detailed outage planning and surgical execution allowed full system replacement in three short windows with complete operational continuity.
DPS METHODOLOGY

Design • Build • Manage – Executed with Surgical Precision

DESIGN
Detailed engineering and outage planning for CIP and Air Farm systems. Every phase prefabricated and staged to minimize on-site time. Full integration with existing facility infrastructure.
BUILD
Prefabrication and off-site assembly allowed rapid, high-precision installation during each short outage window. All work executed while the facility remained fully operational.
MANAGE
Meticulous staging, real-time coordination, and contingency planning ensured every outage stayed under 4 hours with zero unplanned production loss.
