What It Takes to Power the Next Generation of Biomanufacturing

Strategic infrastructure planning for life sciences manufacturing facilities
The life sciences manufacturing sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by advancements in biotechnology, the rise of personalized medicine and the need for localized production. However, this growth comes with unique challenges, particularly when developing new manufacturing sites. Critical considerations for life sciences facility projects range from utilities and workforce development to tax policy and grid infrastructure readiness.

Utilities and wastewater management
Power and water utilities are a cornerstone of any life sciences manufacturing facility, yet they present significant hurdles. The pharmaceutical and biotech industries generate complex wastewater that requires advanced treatment systems. Some manufacturing companies have faced challenges requiring citywide upgrades to water and wastewater systems. Conversely, certain facilities are decommissioning on-site wastewater plants due to reduced demand. With water being a critical resource for manufacturing processes, companies must plan for sustainable water usage and treatment solutions.
