Case Studies
Betafence
We carried out a machine relocation project for this leading manufacturer of perimeter fencing and industrial mesh in Sheffield. The project included disconnection of mains services and all electrical field wiring and mechanical dismantling. We then lifted the machine from the production facility, loaded it to transport and offloaded it in its new position.
Once the machine had been moved, we were responsible for alignment and levelling, mechanical reassembly, re-installation and reconnection to mechanical and electrical services.
SCA Hygiene
We carried out a factory relocation project for paper hygiene products manufacturer, SCA Hygiene, involving the disassembly of six production lines at the company’s Oughtibridge site near Sheffield for installation at their new site in Skelmersdale.
The project involved disassembly of the six lines in Oughtibridge, each including reel stands, laminators, dryers and soundproof booths. We lifted all equipment out of the facility and onto transport for the move to Skelmersdale.
At the new site, we were responsible for match marking, levelling and alignment, off-loading, reassembly, installation and connection of all mechanical and electrical services.
The phased project involved complex sequencing of works at both sites to enable continuous production throughout the factory relocation project.
