Production plant relocation
Production plant relocations require complex planning skills
Industrial clients who rely on a general contractor as their service provider avoid coordination between subcontracting issues. As an industrial service provider for production plant relocations, SCHOLPP is organised with teams that can cover the complete requirements for transportation and assembly according to the principle of "all from a single source": From planning the production plant relocation to the readiness of all machines at the new location to be brought back into operation.
SCHOLPP has built up experience and know-how in thousands of successful projects since 1956. SCHOLPP is on the road worldwide for customers from all sectors of industry to carry out plant relocations.
Production plant relocation as a complete service package: planning and dismantling, transportation and reassembly
SCHOLPP realizes a plant relocation as total solution: from planning and dismantling, transport and reassembly, to electrical installation and support for recommissioning. In the run-up to the relocation of entire production plants, SCHOLPP consults in detail with the customer, the machine manufacturers and plant engineers. To do so this forms the basis for a jointly coordinated and detailed schedule. The planning phase also includes on-site inspections at the customer's premises, both at the old site and at the new location. In accordance with production planning, the schedule for relocation and commissioning are discussed to ensure that production can be restarted quickly.
Intelligent project management as the key to successful production plant relocation
Considering how the production of the plant to be relocated is organized, dismantling and assembly work is planned by experienced engineers. The sequence during relocation can be significant depending on the layout of the factory building. Space for maneuvering is usually limited, as production areas are tight for cost reasons. Every plant relocation therefore has its own characteristics that need to be taken into account.
Sometimes, innovated machines or systems pose a logistical bottleneck in the production plant relocation, for example due to their dimensions, weight or demanding installation work. If required. The SCHOLPP planning team can flexibly adapt the schedule so, that the overall project does not fall behind defined deadlines. All dismantling, transportation and reassembly work must be timed throughout the entire plant relocation process so that a restart on time is guaranteed. Should the need arise at short notice to speed up the assembly, SCHOLPP can quickly mobilize additional manpower.
Quick plant relocation using intelligent division of labor
During the entire plant relocation, the customer communicates with one contact person and a permanent SCHOLPP team. For special assembly or transportation tasks during the plant relocation, SCHOLPP project managers call in additional specialists as required. In this way, SCHOLPP always operates with a team strength and division of labor that is appropriate to the rigging work and therefore economically efficient for the customer. All interfaces with machine manufacturers are clearly defined in advance. As we have been working with many plant manufacturers for decades, the processes are well-rehearsed.
The right equipment for plant relocations
Extensive know-how, many years of experience and creative problem-solving skills are three essential components for successful plant relocations. A fourth hey factor is the icing on the cake: state-of-the-art technical equipment. SCHOLPP has an equipment pool that is unique in Europe in its scope: cranes and transport vehicles, lifting gantries specially developed for machine transportation, in-plant rollers and custom-made lifting solutions. This enables SCHOLPP to realize production plant relocations quickly, efficiently, professionally and safely. With SCHOLPP locations in Germany and around the world, we also have a contact near.
