Our End-to-End Plant Relocation Process
1. Site Assessment & Machinery Relocation Planning
Our engineers survey both the existing and destination plant before dismantling begins.
- Equipment Assessment: Our team first inspects each machine before decommissioning. They consider machine condition, weight, and other factors.
- Floor Assessment: Teams check floor capacity along planned movement routes. This helps determine suitable handling methods.
- Clearance Checks: Engineers inspect overhead spaces and entry points. They also check narrow aisles and restricted access areas.
- Lift Planning: Teams calculate equipment weight and center of gravity. This helps select suitable lifting equipment.
- Route Planning: Engineers establish safe internal movement paths. They also identify suitable loading and unloading areas.
- Destination Readiness: Teams inspect foundations and installation areas. They also verify available clearances and utility connections.
- Shutdown Support: Teams schedule the relocation during your planned production shutdown. This helps coordinate production stoppage with relocation activities.
2. Plant Decommissioning & Machinery Dismantling
We provide plant decommissioning services to prepare equipment for safe removal.
- Equipment Preparation: Teams stop production before dismantling begins. They also remove remaining process materials from the equipment.
- Utility Disconnection: Technicians disconnect electrical connections before dismantling. They also isolate compressed air, gas, and other utilities.
- Lockout-Tagout: Our team shuts off all energy sources before dismantling. This helps prevent accidental equipment startup.
- Pre-Move Documentation: Teams photograph machine condition before dismantling. They also record connections and existing configurations.
- Component Identification: Teams label machine parts before dismantling. This helps technicians identify each part during reinstallation.
- Match-Marking: Technicians mark mating parts before dismantling. They also record important alignment references.
- Controlled Dismantling: Crews remove assemblies and attachments according to relocation requirements. They follow the planned dismantling sequence.
- Component Protection: Teams protect sensitive controls and precision components. This reduces the risk of damage during handling.
3. Rigging & Heavy Equipment Extraction
Bharat uses specialized machinery handling methods based on site conditions.
- Hydraulic Lifting: We use hydraulic gantries and jacks to help lift heavy machines. Low-height cylinders help create lifting space in restricted areas.
- Toe Jacking: Heavy-duty toe jacks lift equipment from accessible lower edges. Teams raise the machine in controlled stages.
- Rigging: Riggers secure machinery with suitable lifting equipment. This keeps the equipment stable during lifting and movement.
- Spreader Bars: Teams use spreader bars during suitable lifting operations. They help distribute lifting forces across the equipment.
- Machine Skidding: Teams use skidding systems to move heavy machinery across the plant floor.
- Directional Movement: Precision turntables help maneuver equipment through restricted areas. They also support controlled movement around tight corners.
- Tight-Access Extraction: Crews move equipment through restricted entrances and internal routes. Teams select handling methods based on available clearance.
4. Machinery Loading, Transportation & Unloading
Machinery transportation Services connect the original facility with the destination plant.
- Machine Loading and Unloading: Teams load equipment using suitable lifting systems. They follow the planned loading sequence during each operation.
- Load Securing: Crews secure machinery to prevent movement during road transport. They use suitable tie-down arrangements for the equipment.
- Heavy-Haul Transport: Suitable trailers carry heavy and oversized equipment between facilities. Trailer selection depends on equipment weight and dimensions.
- Route Planning: Teams survey the transport route before movement. They check road height and width restrictions. They also assess bridge limits and turning space. This helps identify potential transport constraints before dispatch.
- Industrial Equipment Transportation: Crews coordinate the movement of heavy and oversized equipment. They manage the planned transport sequence between facilities.
- Machinery Packing: Teams protect sensitive parts during transportation. Protection can include moisture, vibration, dust, impact, and weather protection.
- Controlled Unloading: Crews unload equipment using the planned lifting sequence. They then position it for installation.
5. Precision Plant Installation & Reinstallation
We provide plant installation services to restore equipment at the destination plant.
- Positioning: Technicians place machines according to the approved plant layout. They verify the planned machine location before final fixing.
- Foundation Placement: Teams position equipment on prepared foundations. They install anchor bolts where required.
- Leveling: Technicians level each machine according to installation requirements. Correct leveling supports stable machine operation.
- Alignment Verification: Engineers compare final positioning with recorded alignment references. They use optical or laser alignment methods where required.
- Mechanical Adjustment: Technicians make required mechanical adjustments after positioning. This helps achieve the required installation condition.
- Utility Reconnection: Technicians reconnect electrical and utility systems. They follow applicable manufacturer requirements during reconnection.
6. Utility Reconnection & Plant Commissioning
We provide plant commissioning services after equipment installation. Our team tests and verifies machinery after utility connections.
- Utility Reconnection: Technicians reconnect required power and utility systems. They verify connections before equipment startup.
- Pre-Start Checks: Teams inspect machine condition before starting. They verify installation and safety requirements.
- Alignment Verification: Engineers complete final alignment checks where required. They compare results with recorded reference conditions.
- No-Load Trials: Technicians operate equipment without production load. This helps identify issues before production testing.
- Full-Load Trials: Teams test equipment under operating conditions. They check performance during the planned production trial.
- Commissioning Support: Engineers support final equipment testing and production readiness. They coordinate required adjustments during commissioning.
