Factory Relocation Services

Before equipment is moved, we evaluate whether the proposed relocation is technically and commercially viable.

Assessment may include:

• Equipment condition
• New-site suitability
• Production requirements
• Utility availability
• Infrastructure requirements
• Logistics constraints
• Shutdown requirements
• Relocation CAPEX
• Operational risks

Many relocation problems begin because the original factory is poorly documented.

Before dismantling, we can document:

• Equipment locations
• Utility connections
• Electrical connections
• Piping
• Instrumentation
• Cable routes
• Control systems
• Equipment identification
• Production flows

This creates a controlled engineering baseline for relocation.

Relocation provides a rare opportunity to redesign the production environment.

Rather than copying the old layout, we can optimize:

• Production flow
• Material movement
• Personnel movement
• Maintenance accessibility
• Warehouse interfaces
• Utility distribution
• Hygiene zoning
• Future expansion
• Safety
• Equipment spacing

The new factory should perform better than the old one.

Moving worn-out equipment without evaluating its condition can transfer existing problems into the new factory.

Before relocation, we classify equipment according to:

Relocate → Repair → Retrofit → Rebuild → Replace

This enables maintenance and modernization work to be completed while equipment is already offline.

Equipment dismantling should follow a controlled sequence.

We support:

• Equipment tagging
• Connection identification
• Dismantling procedures
• Lifting requirements
• Packaging requirements
• Component protection
• Spare-part control
• Technical supervision
• Documentation

This reduces the risk of damage, missing components and reinstallation delays.

One of the most important objectives of relocation is minimizing business interruption.

We develop relocation sequences considering:

• Production demand
• Inventory requirements
• Customer commitments
• Equipment dependencies
• Contractor availability
• Transportation
• Installation sequence
• Commissioning requirements

Where technically possible, relocation may be phased to maintain partial production

Large or sensitive industrial equipment requires more than standard transportation.

Engineering considerations may include:

• Equipment dimensions
• Center of gravity
• Lifting points
• Transport frames
• Vibration protection
• Route limitations
• Special handling
• Weather protection

Production equipment cannot operate correctly unless the new site's utilities match its requirements.

We assess and engineer:

• Electrical power
• Steam
• Refrigeration
• Chilled water
• Compressed air
• Process water
• HVAC
• Natural gas
• Water treatment
• Wastewater
• Drainage
• Fire protection interfaces

We support installation engineering and supervision for:

• Production machinery
• Process piping
• Electrical connections
• MCCs
• Control panels
• Instrumentation
• Utilities
• Conveyors
• Tanks
• Platforms
• Ancillary equipment

Relocation can expose weaknesses in older automation systems.

Our engineering support may cover:

• PLC systems
• HMI
• SCADA
• VFDs
• Sensors
• Instrumentation
• Industrial networks
• I/O verification
• Control-loop testing

Relocation can also provide an opportunity to modernize obsolete systems before restart.

For food, dairy, beverage and water facilities, the relocated line must be validated from a hygienic engineering perspective.

We review:

• Product-contact systems
• Piping
• CIP
• Drainage
• Hygienic zoning
• Personnel flow
• Material flow
• Cross-contamination risks
• Cleaning accessibility
• Water systems

Moving the equipment is only part of the project.

The real objective is successful production.

Our commissioning support may include:

• Mechanical completion checks
• Electrical testing
• Instrument verification
• Dry commissioning
• Wet commissioning
• Utility testing
• Production trials
• Performance verification
• Operator support
• Production stabilization
