IFE’s highly experienced staff have been invaluable to many of our food production projects over the years. IFE provides real value to clients not only in the engineering of process equipment and systems, but also in their facility planning capabilities. As architects, we have a deep understanding of what is required of the buildings, but IFE’s background in the food industry is of great benefit to us in understanding the spatial and technical requirements of production systems and operations. Gene and Andy are friendly and knowledgeable people who are a delight to work with!
Peak Engineers has a longstanding and successful relationship with the leaders of Integrated Food Engineering (IFE). Our companies have collaborated on numerous capital projects within the food production industry, and the IFE team has proven every time to be high-level experts in food processing engineering solutions and partners in overall project management.
IFE’s leaders bring extensive experience in overall equipment layout and design, project planning, project execution, and startup services. With previous background in plant operations with multiple major food processing companies, IFE is well equipped to understand the operational needs of the customer, while maintaining the momentum of a well-planned project. The consistency and quality of work that IFE provides enables them to be a high value consultant that you would want to partner with.
We would highly recommend IFE for design and project management services within the food manufacturing space.
IFE stepped in to help Oregon Fruit Products with a complex project that was difficult to define the performance requirements, scope of work, and deliverables for. Their engineering and design assistance during the preconstruction estimating was invaluable in providing critical leadership with “been-there-done-that” sanitary food processing and facility infrastructure knowledge and experience. The drawings they developed for the project established specific, and measurable, design criteria for the equipment and installation needs and, once a lead equipment supplier was found for the work, IFE provided a thorough and detailed analysis of their quote with a clear list of compromises and risks that our team was able to evaluate and approve. Their work gave us the confidence we needed to order the equipment for this project and know that it would accomplish our goals.
