Full Turnkey Package

B&W Machinery Installations Ltd were approached by a company from the North East of England to relocate its automotive component manufacturing facility to the South West of England.

B&W mechanical and electrical surveyors visited both sites to carry out a feasibility study. Time restraints of production and the costing were issued to the client. This study was accepted and our services were employed.

B&W's only question to the client was, can the plant been decommissioned and placed to positions for relocation? A positive answer was forthcoming and our electrical engineers disconnected the feed supplies.

Our electrical and mechanical engineers systematically ‘match marked’ all the cables, switches, pipes (hydraulic and pneumatic) and machinery and recorded in schedules, photographed and videoed the equipment to assist in the rebuilding of the plant.

Upon completion of the above, our engineers dismantled all the ancillary equipment, guards, etc and secured them to purpose built pallets. The pallets were loaded to B&W transport (for despatch) when the loads were full.
The heavy items, presses, loaders and manipulators (including robots) were all uplifted from the factory using gantries, versa lifts and fork lift trucks (always utilising the most efficient and cost effective means possible) and skated to a loading area.
All equipment was shrink-wrapped and sheeted against the vagaries of the weather.
These pieces were craned or lifted by versa lift to B&W transport (low loaders, semi low loaders or flats) and relocated to the new factory.

Because of the machinery requirement was ‘last out first in basis’, our transport manager and installation supervisor coordinated the logistics of fifteen wagons being called in the required order and time.

The machinery was re-assembled in the same configuration as at the previous site on to the prepared foundation and reconnected to the services.
Following exhaustive tests of circuits, rotation of motors, guards and E-stops, pipe-work (to ensure no leaks) the machinery was handed over to the manufacturers commissioning engineers.

Full production was gained within the time restraints imposed upon B&W by our client.

The project time scale was ten weeks and was completed within the ninth week and within the tight budgetary control of our client.
