Case Study: Rapid Decommissioning and Redeployment for Sanofi
Project Overview
When Sanofi acquired TargeGen’s 40,000 sq. ft. facility in San Diego, CA, they were faced with a looming deadline. With the lease expiring, all laboratory assets, chemicals, and office equipment needed to be decommissioned and removed within just three weeks.
Process
Our team stepped in with a swift, strategic approach. Partnering with Veolia, we ensured the safe decommissioning of equipment and removal of chemicals from the lab. Meanwhile, we facilitated the redeployment of essential instruments to other Sanofi sites across Arizona, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. We also negotiated a competitive asset purchase from Sanofi, managing the removal, packaging, and shipment of twelve truckloads of equipment to our Fall River, MA facility. There, we executed a highly successful online auction.
Result
Our team not only met but exceeded all project timelines and client expectations by delivering maximum value. We completed the removal efficiently, and left the facility in spotless condition, fully meeting client standards.
