Production line relocation: a complex operation mastered from start to finish
Industrial relocation, especially the transfer of production lines, is a critical task that requires precision, discipline, and flawless coordination. Our expert teams manage every stage of the process:
- Preliminary studies and transfer engineering: 2D/3D modelling, technical audits, precise geometry diagnostics
- Project planning (OPC): scheduling, management, and coordination of all activities
- Dismantling and disconnection of machines and utilities (electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, gas)
- Heavy and delicate handling using our specialized equipment (cranes, forklifts, synchronized lifting systems, air cushions, etc.)
- Domestic and international transport, including oversized and heavy haulage
- Reinstallation, reconnection, alignment and commissioning
- Functional testing and validation at project completion
Thanks to our in-house engineering office and meticulous organization, we guarantee minimal disruption to your production and smooth project execution.
