Corporate relocation in the Nord (59): industrial tank transfer

Unloading, roof crane lifting and installation of 4 industrial tanks at the heart of the agri-food industry in Hauts-de-France

As part of a corporate relocation in the Nord (59), the teams from Bovis Nord Europe and Bovis Flandres Artois recently carried out a complex technical operation: the unloading, roof crane lifting and installation of 4 industrial tanks of 30 m³ within a food processing site in the Hauts-de-France region.

This service perfectly illustrates the ability of the Bovis Group to carry out heavy handling and industrial transfer operations in constrained environments, while ensuring safety, precision and business continuity.

Recognised expertise in heavy handling and industrial relocation in the Nord (59)

Corporate relocation in the Nord (59) requires specific skills, especially when it comes to integrating large equipment into existing production units.

Thanks to its expertise in complex lifting and delicate handling, Bovis Flandres Artois successfully met this challenge:

• Full management of logistics and lifting operations
• Coordination of human and material resources
• Control of access constraints and industrial environment
• Operation in an occupied site with enhanced safety requirements

As highlighted by the expertise of the Bovis Group, heavy handling requires a perfect mastery of lifting techniques and complex environments.

A rigorous and perfectly orchestrated intervention methodology

Each industrial transfer or installation operation is based on careful preparation. For this intervention, the teams applied a structured methodology:

Preliminary technical study

• Analysis of building access and structural constraints
• Identification of the crane lifting area via a roof hatch
• Definition of suitable lifting equipment

Organisation and planning

• Preparation of a detailed lifting plan
• Coordination of the different phases: transport, lifting, installation
• Implementation of a safety prevention plan

Execution of operations

• Unloading of the tanks using a low-loader trailer
• Main lifting carried out with a 350-ton crane
• Intermediate operations using an 80T crane arm
• Passage of the tanks through a roof opening
• Final positioning indoors using a 20-ton electric mini crane

This approach is fully in line with the standards of the Bovis Group, which integrates planning, coordination and controlled execution to ensure the success of every industrial transfer.

Heavy and innovative equipment serving performance

To complete this operation, high-tech lifting and handling equipment was used:

• 350-ton mobile crane for the main tank lifting
• 80T crane arm for adjustment and secondary handling
• Low-loader trailer for secure transport
• 20-ton electric mini crane for indoor installation

Focus: the electric mini crane, a key asset in constrained environments

The use of the electric mini crane was decisive for the final positioning of the tanks:

• Zero-emission operation: ideal for a food processing environment
• High precision in movement and lifting
• Ability to operate in confined spaces
• Reduced noise and operational constraints

This equipment illustrates the ability of the Bovis Group to deploy innovative solutions adapted to the specific constraints of industrial sites.

Rigorous management of safety and technical constraints

The installation of 30 m³ tanks through the roof is a high-risk operation requiring constant vigilance:

• Implementation of a strict prevention plan
• Securing of lifting and circulation zones
• Close coordination between crane operators, handlers and technical supervisor
• Compliance with specific agri-food industry standards
• Heavy load management at height and in confined environments

The teams, composed of 3 qualified handlers and a dedicated technical supervisor, demonstrated a high level of expertise and professionalism at every stage.
