Project Details
This food-grade chemical facility at Patalganga MIDC was planned as a large-scale refurbishment of 150,000 sq. ft. of existing infrastructure. The client’s main requirement was to double the storage capacity while upgrading the factory from within and improving its external condition through repairs and facade cladding.
The project called for a careful balance between industrial functionality, hygiene, safety and daily operational flow. Since the facility was already active, every intervention had to be planned in a way that supported ongoing work while preparing the factory for future growth.
A major part of the proposal focused on reworking the storage and dispatch systems. The central dispatch area, spread across almost 10,000 sq. ft., was repaired and upgraded to match the larger renovation plan. Movement, material flow and loading efficiency were studied closely to make the space work in a more organized and practical way.
The worker amenities were also given equal importance. The existing canteen was expanded and upgraded into a 3,500 sq. ft. facility with a self-sufficient kitchen and custom hygiene-focused features, creating a cleaner and more comfortable space for the team.
A 3,000 sq. ft. office area was developed to support administrative and operational needs. It included four cabins, eight workstations, a conference room, a server room and supporting spaces. Each cabin was planned with a window overlooking the dispatch area, allowing better supervision and real-time coordination.
For quality control, 4,000 sq. ft. was dedicated to QC and Micro Labs. These spaces included specialized rooms, office cabins and workstations for department heads, along with carefully planned HVAC and MEP systems to support food-grade industry standards.
The production and packing unit, spread across 30,000 sq. ft., was renovated with a detailed layout, MEP coordination and industrial safety considerations. Emergency layouts and hygiene zoning diagrams were also placed across key locations, making the space easier to understand, safer to operate and more compliant for everyday use.
Through detailed planning, the refurbishment aimed to uplift the facility without losing sight of the client’s timeline, operational needs and industry-specific hygiene requirements.
