Becton Dickinson

Primus provided turn-key site master planning, design and construction services for a new high volume E-beam sterilizer system for Becton Dickinson at its largest medical device facility in New Canaan, Connecticut. Primus prepared a site master plan study that evaluated existing manufacturing flow and developed conceptual space adjacency diagrams for existing and potential future operations to determine a logical plan for site growth. Several optional schemes were considered and the final site master plan identified the preferred location for the new E-beam and associated material handling lines. It also provided a site “road map” for future relocation of shipping operations and phased growth of future manufacturing to offer greater utilization of the entire
property.

Features include:

• New packaging lines & new conveyance system that transports and wrapsboxes in shrink wrapped trays as they move to the sterilizer vault
• New palletizing and stretch wrapping operations
• New packaging room and concrete shielding vault with associated utility service and operations control rooms
