WB | Transitional Operations

Anticipate - Adapt - Deliver

A consistent drawback of the traditional design/construction process of delivering complex facilities is the inevitable “mad rush” at the end to turn over the facility. As a result of these limitations, the new facility is occupied without the existing facilities staff having a full understanding of the facility.

Transitional Operations can be the stopgap to allow the existing facilities operations staff to become familiar with the new facility while not having to dedicate the full staff requirements. Our transitional operations team learns the facility, develops procedures, oversees the outlying construction and warranty issues, and passes this collective knowledge to your facilities staff.

Our scalable O+M model goes above and beyond traditional turnover providing standard operating procedures, budgets, and preventive maintenance programs. We are staffed with interdisciplinary experts with decades of operations and maintenance experience in clean rooms; aseptic processing; bio-containment; cGMP; regulated medical manufacturing; pharmaceutical; and mission critical industries.
