Challenge
Baker Hughes decided to consolidate nine separate properties, processes, and product lines onto one 72-acre campus in Oklahoma City. Some divisions required space for unique activities like explosives testing and radioactive material handling. While overlapping needs for workshops and office space offered opportunities for consolidation. They enlisted Energy Architecture to consolidate their facilities and design safe environments for handling dangerous materials.
Solution
We participated in a week-long Kaizen event with the client, applying LEAN manufacturing principles to identify efficiencies in production, ways to eliminate waste, safer ways of working, and opportunities to share services and resources.
The resulting oilfield services base includes a 90,000 SF, three-story office building, 450,000 SF of manufacturing and workshop facilities, a radioactive materials storage and calibration bunker, and a gun-load bunker.
