AgrEvo USA (Bayer Crop Sciences)

The AgrEvo facility is one of only two plants in the world to produce the herbicide “Liberty,” and needed to expand its laboratory and warehouse/packaging facility. Both projects were completed on tightly integrated schedules with stringent safety requirements. Phasing of the laboratory addition was necessary to keep the project on schedule and the facility operating while the existing laboratory was renovated.
