IDC is not just an architectural and engineering firm, but rather a project delivery organization with unique capabilities for its food and consumer product clients.

Full Services
We offer a wide range of facility and process services, from advance planning and site selection through design, construction, and startup. We also provide plant operations consulting, sustaining engineering, contract maintenance, and training.

Experienced in Food Processing & Packaging
IDC’s food processing knowledge ranges from raw receiving through shipping over a wide range of products and processes. Our expertise in packaging systems and labeling systems allows us to work comfortably within any food plant environment. In addition, we have extensive experience in utilities and infrastructure to support process lines, including refrigeration systems, steam systems, process area HVAC, and process water systems. Many of our staff have hands-on factory knowledge gained from previous positions in the food and consumer products industries.

Established Quality Assurance Program
IDC’s Quality Assurance Program is based on a philosophy of promoting individual ownership and pride, and driven by a desire for continuous improvement. We measure its success by the satisfaction of our clients as well as peer recognition.

Flexibility to Achieve Client Goals
Each project is unique, and IDC tailors its approach for every effort. We can supplement a client’s internal staff or take complete responsibility for a project. We are extremely flexible in project delivery methods— Engineer, Procure, Construction Management (EPCM), design/build, or whatever makes the most sense for the project. We also have developed a successful approach to fast-track projects with proven results. IDC is guided by an established environmental, safety and health program based on compliance with regulatory requirements and conformance with industry standards and company policies. The program supports the company effort to eliminate injuries, illnesses, damage to property and equipment, and to protect the environment when affected by company work.

Clean Environments & FDA Validation Expertise
IDC is widely recognized for its skill in designing clean manufacturing spaces for the microelectronics and pharmaceutical industries. We know how to meet the stringent requirements of these areas and their special support systems. Our parent company, CH2M HILL, is a world leader in environmental engineering, management, and remediation. We are well equipped to assist clients with any and all environmental issues.

Excellence in Project Delivery
IDC has strong project execution skills, including project management, design and construction management. These are enhanced by our technical food process knowledge, and supported by specialized estimating, scheduling and procurement services. We can also self-perform craft labor where it is appropriate for the client and the scope.
We understand how to successfully execute projects of all sizes. While we are comfortable with projects as large as turnkey multimillion-dollar facilities, most of our projects are small and medium-sized. We also know how to deliver expansion projects with minimal interruption of ongoing operations.
