Preparation Guide for Industrial Equipment Installation

Proper preparation can help avoid delays, equipment damage, and additional costs. Here are three steps that can make the pre-construction installation process more efficient:

1. Establishing a Detailed Scope of Work

Knowing which requirements must be met for a successful installation is crucial. This information can be obtained from the project manager and engineer who can list specific on-site requirements. Some of the key requirements include the following:

Access to Site
Foundation Support and any Modifications
Overhead Obstructions
Electrical Power Supply and Capacity
Mechanical Piping Tie in Locations

2. Identifying Onsite Storage Capacity

Locations within a facility where equipment, materials, or supplies can be staged before moving to their final destination.is critical. Proper planning and communication with the project manager and plant personnel can help determine the most efficient location for storage. This will minimize any additional rigging requirements, so that equipment can be more easily placed in the proper location.

3. Verifying Environmental Conditions

It is vital to consider all environmental conditions during and before installation. Quite often stricter regulations will be required for the newer equipment. Structural improvements such as containment walls and larger drainage may be needed to handle the increased possible spill capacity of the new equipment.

Full Plant Relocation

Full plant relocation involves moving an entire industrial facility or plant to a new location. This process includes dismantling and disconnecting all the original site’s machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. It is followed by transportation to the new place and then reassembling and reconnecting everything at the new site.

Equipment Alignment

Equipment alignment ensures that machinery and equipment are properly positioned and adjusted to function optimally. The process helps reduce equipment wear and tear, minimize vibrations, and prevent premature failure. It can be performed using various techniques, such as laser alignment or dial indicator alignment.

Structural Steel and Rigging

Structural steel and rigging are two critical processes in setting up and relocating large steel structures and machinery in industrial settings. Structural steel encompasses the installation of steel components that offer support to various industrial systems and equipment. Rigging is the use of specialized cranes, forklifts, chainfalls and techniques to move heavy industrial parts, machinery, and equipment.

Concrete Forming and Finishing

Concrete forming and finishing involves placing concrete into forms and structures to achieve the desired appearance and function. Waco has experience with many different types of grouts, concrete additives and structural components that can ensure a proper placement or supporting foundation for new equipment.
