Strategic Sectors: Laboratories

Management Alternatives' (M/A) associates understand the exacting requirements of laboratory and research facility relocations. We have extensive experience managing complex relocation projects involving specialized electronic and scientific equipment. We are experts in managing the relocation of sensitive and/or hazardous materials, including:
  • Radioactive materials;
  • Biological materials;
  • Chemicals; and
  • Animals.
Moves involving sensitive equipment and ongoing research require meticulous planning and execution. (Moving radioactive material, for instance, requires pre- and post-move decommissioning and recommissioning processes.) With many research laboratory relocations, packaging requirements are absolute. Critical research cannot be compromised. Jurisdictional legal and safety regulations, as well as risk management and security issues, must be investigated and addressed. The selection and management of qualified vendors is essential.

M/A Manages Vendors
M/A identifies qualified vendors to prepare, move and recalibrate all specialized equipment. We coordinate the work of vendors responsible for the relocation and disposal of hazardous materials. Working together with your project managers, we manage the stringent demands of special-needs relocation and develop a move plan that ensures your infrastructure is moved safely and efficiently and that your operations continue uninterrupted.
