THE CHALLENGE
Install Four Major Systems in One Sunday Evening Sanitation Outage — with Zero Margin for Error.
Albertsons needed to upgrade critical infrastructure at their Phoenix ice cream plant: air compressor, dairy processing equipment, CIP system, and refrigeration — all within a single, tightly constrained Sunday sanitation window.
Any overrun would impact production. The project required deep dairy processing expertise, food safety-grade environmental control, and seamless integration with existing equipment.
DPS METHODOLOGY
Design • Build • Manage – Executed with Zero Margin
Stage One
DESIGN
Detailed coordination of air compressor, dairy processing equipment, CIP system, and refrigeration infrastructure. Full integration planning with existing ice cream production lines and food safety controls.
Stage Two
BUILD
Prefabrication and precise staging enabled all four systems to be installed simultaneously during the single Sunday evening sanitation outage with seamless integration.
Stage Three
MANAGE
Real-time coordination and contingency planning ensured flawless execution within the tight window, maintaining full food safety compliance and zero production disruption.
