CHALLENGE

A global pharmaceutical corporation with multiple manufacturing facilities hired Steady Solutions to address ongoing challenges in managing two types of projects: (1) routine, day-to-day maintenance at the local level, and (2) larger, capital-intensive investments necessary for the company's expansion and operational needs. This organization must maintain stringent compliance and safety standards to adhere to the FDA's constant planned and unplanned inspections of its facilities. The primary challenge lies in identifying reliable service partners capable of assisting with (1) short-term, unplanned fixes and remediations, (2) scheduled projects for medical-grade buildings, and (3) long-term capital projects.

SOLUTION

Steady has been engaged by the customer to provide a variety of services over the years, including exterior and interior painting, flooring upgrades, tenant improvements in office buildings or laboratories, and warehouse upgrades. Leveraging its expertise in project management, engineering, and regulatory compliance, Steady has collaborated closely with the client's project teams to ensure alignment with project goals and objectives. By implementing robust quality assurance processes, Steady has ensured consistent service delivery while adhering to FDA requirements, project timelines, and budget constraints. Effective communication and proactive risk management strategies have been employed to mitigate potential challenges and ensure project success.

RESULTS

Steady's continuous support over the past few years, coupled with the client's ongoing demand for additional services, attests to Steady's ability to listen and adapt.

The client continues to engage Steady for additional assistance and new projects, underscoring Steady's dedication to excellence and client satisfaction. This commitment has reinforced Steady's reputation as a trusted partner in delivering comprehensive services within the highly regulated medical and pharmaceutical industry.

CHALLENGE

A nationwide chain of eyewear retailers was brought to justice after passersby noticed a parking lot lacking ADA compliance at a California location: no wheelchair access, no handicapped parking spots, old fading striping, and complex traffic flow for customers accessing or leaving the property. The chain needed expedited service to resolve this issue and ensure compliance for its customers at that particular retail location.

SOLUTION

Steady Solutions proposed its design-build services to resolve the issue as promptly as possible while minimizing disturbances at the store and ensuring extensive documentation for potential use in court. With the corporate team out of state, swift communication and transparency were essential to ensure the work was done correctly and to avoid further legal issues. The Steady team contacted the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to gather specific local ADA requirements and ordinances, in addition to addressing different parking improvement needs.

RESULTS

After an expedited permitting process aimed at obtaining permits in a very short timeframe, Steady received all approvals to complete construction. With the help of its engineering team, Steady presented solutions that met both the AHJ's regulations and the customer's satisfaction. The team redesigned the entire 100+ space parking lot to ensure proper flow while adhering to all necessary requirements, including fire lanes, landscaping, occupancy, and of course, handicap accessibility. The swift and thorough response not only resolved the compliance issues but also improved the overall functionality and appearance of the parking lot, enhancing the customer experience and ensuring the retailer met all legal obligations. Ultimately, the legal case against the corporation was dismissed, preventing lengthy and expensive legal proceedings.

CHALLENGE

A major shopping mall in a metropolitan area sought to support its sustainability goals and attract eco-conscious consumers by installing 20 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging ports in its parking lot. The project faced several challenges: the existing electrical infrastructure needed significant upgrades, the layout required careful planning to avoid disrupting the flow of parking spaces, and there was a need for a smooth implementation process to avoid operational disruptions at the mall.

SOLUTION

Steady Solutions was brought in to handle the design, planning, and installation of the EV charging stations. The project team conducted a comprehensive site assessment to determine the best locations for the charging ports while ensuring minimal impact on existing parking. Electrical engineers were engaged to evaluate and upgrade the power infrastructure, including transformers and distribution panels. The team worked closely with mall management to ensure clear communication and coordination throughout the project.

RESULTS

The installation of 20 EV charging stations was completed successfully, enhancing the mall's sustainability profile and customer convenience. The project included a robust central management system for monitoring and payment, and all stations were thoroughly tested to ensure functionality. The upgrade to the electrical infrastructure was managed efficiently, meeting all local codes and safety standards. The mall experienced increased foot traffic from eco-conscious shoppers and generated additional revenue through user fees. The successful completion of the project not only supported the mall's sustainability goals but also enhanced its reputation as a forward-thinking commercial space.
