Serving the St. Louis Region, Mid-Missouri and Metro East

VIRBAC

Integrated Facility Service has worked with Virbac, an animal pharmaceutical company, since 2017. We have worked on many project types during this time, including mechanical, which would involve process piping, HVAC, automation, design work, and heating and cooling loads. We also maintain a preventive maintenance service contract with them.

Mike, Virbac’s construction facilities manager, was asked why he liked working with IFS. 

Mike replied, “They’re good about responding, getting back to you, whether it’s an emergency or not. For example, we had an issue where I reached out to the scheduler, and they already had a response to me before the end of the day and two guys showed up this morning. That was pretty quick.”

Challenge

IFS recently completed Virbac’s cooling tower as the lead contractor. They wanted improved ventilation from the cottonwood dust collected in their building. The IFS team came up with a new solution to filter the water in the cooling tower based on the composition of the water. The water would be purged automatically when necessary and then be refilled.

Solutions

“They’ll have ideas and suggestions on a better way to do things, how we can improve the process, or what we can do to ensure that we don’t have a repeat failure. That’s been very beneficial,” he said. “They want to do the job right the first time, so that would make us want to come back and ask them to engage with us on another project. It is building up a partnership.”
