Plant Relocation Specialists - R. Baker and Son
Relocating a plant can be a complex undertaking, one that requires close coordination, meticulous planning, and good communication among contractors, owners, designers, and facility personnel. A poorly-executed plant relocation project can result in runaway costs, prolonged downtime, lost production, and a damaged repu- tation. R. Baker & Son is a long-estab- lished expert in plant relocation that can ensure a smooth and successful transition.
Before any work can begin, a plant relocation contractor must thoroughly understand the intricate web of day-to-day plant operations, including
products and method of production, plant machinery, and utilities. A detailed, multi-phased, coordinated plan is developed to seamlessly ramp down the vacating facility while simultaneously phasing in production at the new plant. Existing equipment is assessed to determine which will be relocated and reused, verifying that it meets local code at the new facility, and whether it will require modification, repair or refurbishment. 3D build- ing information modeling (BIM) of the new facility’s mechanical and structural building components is used for planning utility and equipment placement.
Equipment slated for relocation must be meticulously identified, logged, disassembled, match-marked, and readied for shipment, and utility connections and sepa- ration points must be accurately recorded. All structural modifications must be completed at the new facility to accommodate the new equipment. Necessary utility systems, including electrical substations and distribution, IT racks and switches, building automation systems, and process control systems, must be identified, designed and installed to ensure that equipment installation, testing and commissioning can occur without a hitch. In addition to relocating and installing existing equipment, a project may require purchase and installation of new equipment.
