The Complexity of Plant Relocation Projects

The Complexity of Plant Relocation Projects

Plant relocation projects are a complex undertaking that requires professionals with years of experience and a resume of successful projects under their belt. If a complex plant relocation is done poorly it could result in runaway costs as well as lost market share, reputations and employees along the way. R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services is expert in plant relocation projects.

Plant relocation is never as simple as picking up your process in plant A and setting them down in plant B. Plant and product line moves and relocations are always much more difficult than planned or anticipated. With contractors who do their homework, know the risks upfront, have a contingency plan, and carefully manage the move, your project should be a success.

Once the decision has been made to relocate, a detailed plan must be drafted in parallel with a schedule. Important questions must be addressed: Will it be necessary to temporarily outsource plant operations? What is the critical path and non-critical path? There are very complex, intricate relationships and dependencies with plant products, equipment and utilities. Make sure the new plant can accommodate all of the operating requirements for equipment process and or products. Business interruptions are more expensive to address than physical or manufacturing process issues.

Many plant relocation projects are done in phases as most plants carry different product lines, each having their own profit centers. The relocation plan needs to address each part and phase of the relocation. Disconnecting and reconnecting to shared utilities is important and should be planned on both sides of the move from plant A to plant B.

Plant relocation project teams need to consider all risks associated with the move and how their impact can be minimized. Every project requires a contingency plan, a “what if” scenario. The quality of the move team is critical to the project’s success. Choose a highly experienced contractor plant relocation contractor like R. Baker and Son to ensure your project’s best possible outcome.
