One of the main challenges faced by Alberici during the construction of BioAmber’s bio-based succinic acid processing facility in Sarnia, Ontario, was the need to overcome adverse weather conditions, specifically a bitterly cold winter with record-breaking snowfall. Additionally, as the facility was constructed on a brownfield site within the campus of an operational chemical facility, careful coordination and sequencing of engineering, procurement, and construction activities were required to ensure safety and minimize disruptions to ongoing operations.
