Shire (now part of Takeda) built a 100-acre greenfield campus in Covington, Georgia. The campus includes over one million square feet of building space, including a wastewater treatment facility, manufacturing buildings, laboratory buildings, administrative buildings and a central utility building. The campus separates plasma components, purifies them and makes life-sustaining therapies used to treat burn victims and patients with immune disorders, hemophilia and other medical conditions.

Fluor completed construction management services for the campus, located about 45 miles east of Atlanta. We supported Shire's goal of completing the campus to start manufacturing products. Our proven construction management expertise was central to the program's success as our full suite of project tools was utilized. An excellent example of new innovations implemented at the site was Fluor Site Connect^SM, which takes proven work processes and develops workflows using tablet technology.
