Case Study 5
Scope of work:
The relocation of 5 complete production lines incorporating different types of production machinery, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK to Budapest, Hungary.
RJB Projects (Europe) worked in conjunction with the project team as this was a major project. We were under strict confidentiality as the planning for this size of project was colossal. We had complete control of every aspect including timescales, loading plans haulage, and health & safety.
A week before the machinery was due to shut down the auditing team completed a full audit to establish the condition of the line and take vital measurements and timings.
Once the lines were shut down our skilled engineers disassembled and electrically disconnected the machinery taking care to mark all the cables and record all the disconnections. As the machinery was split they were taken downstairs via the numerous lifts ready to be packed.
The machinery was vacuum sealed and fixed to pallet skids, and then loaded on to dedicated curtain side lorries. There were approximately 20 pallets in total for each line which took up space on four 40ft lorries each time.
