Advice & Implementation
Stork Asset Management Solutions can advise you on organizing a plant relocation. We offer a critical, independent and professional viewpoint, and we apply our knowledge and experience to implement structural improvements, working in close partnership with you.
Preparation of an relocation project
The entire relocation project is prepared during the dismantling engineering phase. Drawings and technical documents are checked and adapted to the actual situation (as built). All components are meticulously documented. Where required, we design temporary reinforcements and supports. As early as this phase, all activities are geared to enabling the most efficient and economic re-assembly at a later stage.
Dismantling and transportation
The actual relocation starts with dismantling. Each component is coded and labeled. Darwin (Dismantling and Relocation under Windows), our information system, is used to track each component during the dismantling and transport. Transportation methods depend on several factors such as weight, volume, fragility, climate and other local conditions.
Re-assembly engineering phase
Re-assembly engineering marks the start of the re-assembly phase. A multidisciplinary execution method is used to integrate all direct and supporting activities. Services rendered by subcontractors (such as civil works) as well as materials supplied are incorporated into this process.
Professionals
Relocation is the job of people with exceptional drive. Stork’s professionals welcome complex, state-of-the-art projects as a genuine challenge – no matter how daunting and dynamic.
Best practices
We have already worked for international plant owners such as Shell, BRC, Heinz and Fokker. From all the resulting best practices, we have derived generically applicable components and further developed these into customized solutions, totally focused on meeting your demands better and more rapidly.
