Project Overview
In collaboration with a leading UK food manufacturer, we were delighted to help them embark on a transformative project to improve the efficiency of their food product refining processes.
Through the integration of innovative technology sourced from the Czech Republic, the facility wanted to recycle and reactivate calcium compounds during the purification process of raw materials.
Not only would the project provide significant cost savings, the installation would also be extremely beneficial in terms of environmental impact, reducing transportation costs, streamlining plant operations and lowering CO2 emissions.
This meant the initiative would directly contribute to a more sustainable and economically-efficient production process, placing them at the forefront of technological advancements in the food manufacturing industry.
By utilising Laser Scanning and strategic 3D modelling, we combined innovation and precision to deliver a number of major design changes, resulting from value engineering and design appraisals, whilst remaining fully complaint with stringent Food Industry Standards.
Service overview
What did we do?
Stage 1:
With an initial proposal sketch provided, we employed our innovative Laser Scanning and strategic 3D modelling to showcase our client-driven value engineering and adaptability.
Stage 2:
Having analysed all of the scan data, we created an initial concept model to enhance design accuracy and reduce potential bottlenecks in the project timeline, enabling us to streamline workflows and minimise the need for additional on-site surveys.
Stage 3:
Through a combination of innovation and precision, we accurately designed all of the supply and return pipework to ensure we could deliver a first-time, clash-free installation.
Stage 4:
To underscore our commitment to quality engineering solutions, we carried out a number of major design changes, following in-depth value engineering and design appraisals, whilst adhering to stringent Food Industry Standards.
Stage 5:
A swift procurement process allowed us to seamlessly transition from the concept stage to the detailed engineering execution, ensuring the precise integration of robust structural and mechanical systems, alongside intricate piping networks.
The impact and outcome
Due to the urgent execution required, this project unfolded at a fast pace and needed meticulous schedule planning, a synchronised approach and full-time engagement from all involved parties.
To complete the job with the highest level of precision and compliance, our agile team used value-driven engineering principles to strategically overcome problems and successfully integrate a propriety technology.
Even though several major design changes were required, as a result of engineering and design appraisals, our adaptive capabilities and unwavering commitment to intricate engineering solutions once again came to the fore.
An excellent example of our Project Management capabilities, and dedication to meeting stringent timelines, the entire initiative was accomplished in less than 12 weeks from start to finish.
Stakeholder Feedback
