Laboratory Relocation
Due to a stressing economy, many corporations
are downsizing or consolidating their facilities. When doing so,
up to date laboratory facilities are left behind and new
furnishings have to be purchased and installed at the new
facilities. LDS specializes in laboratory relocation and renovation. The first
questions that come up are “Can it be relocated?” and “Will
these items fit into our new location?” In order to answer these
questions, LDS will send a representative to view both the
present and future facility and then interview the lab workers
to see what improvements they would like to see happen during
their transition. LDS will then measure and individually label
each cabinet, countertop, back splash, fixture, and any
miscellaneous items so that a detailed CAD drawing can be
provided of the existing facility. During a lab relocation a
detailed CAD drawing will also be provided of the new facility
so that all of the items in the existing lab can be
strategically located in the new facility. This drawing will enable the customer to know exactly where the items will or will not fit, what each elevation will look like and how much working space will be available and to determine if laboratory renovation will be necessary in the new facility. In the event that the new lab location
changes in size or configuration, LDS will reconfigure existing
casework and countertops in order to minimize the purchase of
any additional items. In the event that any additional items
need to be purchased, LDS can provide additional laboratory casework,
countertops or any other items that need to be purchased in
order to meet the working requirements at the new facility. With
the help of the lab managers, LDS will provide a working
schedule of the laboratory relocation process. This schedule
will detail the relocation of all items from the old facility to
the new facility and give the lab managers a timetable to enable
them to plan around the down time. Once all of the necessary
details are finalized, LDS will be responsible for the
disassembling of the laboratory furnishings, wrapping in
protective coverings, palletizing, transporting, unpacking and
then reinstalling all items at the new facility. When laboratory
facilities’ down time and financial limitations are critical,
laboratory relocation has proven to be an effective solution.
