On behalf of the Knauf Group, we optimised the local infrastructure in Immingham, England. A 30-strong SGS team worked hard in two phases to restructure the production facility. Phase 1 involved the construction of a calcination plant. We moved a total of around 380 tonnes of steel and 230 tonnes of equipment and piping systems. In the second phase, our assembly team moved around 150 tonnes of steel structures and conveyor components, thus completing the so-called “tipping point”.

Our challenge

A particular challenge for project manager Gordon Stanley: ‘The challenge of working on such a confined construction site and the complex crane planning involved. In addition, we also had to comply with the extremely strict British regulations regarding health and safety and environmental management.’ All in all, thanks to our team's extensive know-how and many years of experience, the project ran absolutely satisfactorily for our client.
