The relocation of industrial plants is a complex project that goes far beyond mere transportation. Whether in-house, across locations or internationally, companies face technical, logistical and organizational challenges. A&P Industriemontage offers you comprehensive support for a smooth process – from project planning to recommissioning.
A plant relocation describes the planned relocation of complete machines or production lines – within a company or to a new location. The aim is to efficiently restructure processes or relocate existing capacities without risking production downtime. The process requires technical expertise, precise planning and reliable execution.
A structured process is crucial to minimize risks and reduce downtimes. The project phases at a glance:
Every relocation begins with a comprehensive inventory and the development of a detailed project plan. This takes into account time frames, resource deployment, personnel planning and logistical requirements. Transparent communication with all parties involved is paramount.
Our experts dismantle machines and systems systematically and in a documented manner. All components are labeled and prepared according to technical specifications – for safe and error-free reassembly.
Special requirements apply to the safe packaging and transportation of heavy industrial equipment. We use customized packaging solutions and coordinate heavy load transports with our logistics partners – including transport route and approval management.
Customs requirements and logistical coordination are particularly crucial for international plant relocations. A&P accompanies you through the entire process – including documentation, customs clearance and on-time delivery.
Precise reassembly is carried out on site by interdisciplinary teams. Machines are precisely calibrated, connected and subjected to a functional test. Structured recommissioning ensures that production can be resumed quickly.
In the course of relocation, there is often an opportunity for modernization (retrofit). Obsolete components are replaced, control systems are upgraded or safety requirements are adapted to new standards.
Every relocation brings with it specific challenges: limited time frames, scarce resources, high logistical complexity. This makes it all the more important to have a partner who combines technical understanding, project experience and flexibility. A&P relies on experienced project managers and clearly structured processes – for maximum planning reliability.
Industrial plants often consist of highly sensitive mechanical, hydraulic and electrical components. Error-free disassembly, labeling and subsequent reassembly require specialist knowledge, documented processes and precise manual work. Even the smallest assembly errors can cause production downtime or equipment damage.
The safe transportation of machines weighing several tons places high demands on planning, packaging and infrastructure. This includes special transportation, official approvals and often also interim storage. For international projects, customs clearance is an additional logistical component.
Downtimes are a significant cost factor for companies. Precise coordination of all project phases – from dismantling to recommissioning – is essential to keep interruptions as short as possible. A structured schedule with buffer times helps to absorb unforeseen delays.
The use of qualified specialists is a basic prerequisite for a successful relocation. Mechanics, electricians, mechatronics engineers and fitters must have experience in plant relocation. The availability of suitable teams is a challenge, especially for short-term projects.
With every relocation, safety regulations must be adhered to and machines must be put back into operation in accordance with applicable regulations. This includes electrical inspections (DGUV V3), CE marking, PPE inspections and risk assessments. Professional documentation is essential – not only for internal audits, but also for the authorities.
A plant relocation not only brings with it technical and logistical challenges, but also operational risks that can have far-reaching consequences: Accidents, downtime, breakdowns or even legal consequences. To counter these risks effectively, A&P Industriemontage relies on certified processes, qualified specialist personnel and regular safety inspections.
A&P is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 – proof of our consistent focus on quality. This certification covers project management, disassembly and reassembly as well as electrical engineering, including switch cabinet construction and commissioning. As a result, we guarantee structured processes, maximum process reliability and consistent documentation.
We rely on certified electricians for specified tasks (EFKffT) to test electrical systems. Regular testing in accordance with DGUV regulation 3 ensures the safe operation of your systems and proactively prevents electrical hazards.
Our TÜV SÜD-certified experts carry out inspections in accordance with DGUV principle 309-001. In this way, we ensure that your hoists and cranes are not only ready for operation, but also tested and documented in accordance with the law – an essential factor in relocation projects with heavy-duty components.
The inspection of ladders and steps (DGUV 208-016) and fixed shelving systems is also part of our safety portfolio. For work at height, we inspect your personal fall protection equipment (PPE) in accordance with DGUV 312-906. All inspections are carried out by certified qualified persons and are carefully documented.
Our safety officer is SCC/SGU-certified (TÜV SÜD). The qualification according to SGU-Personal VAZ Document 017 certifies the competence in safety, health and environmental protection for operationally active managers. This qualification underlines our commitment to the highest level of occupational safety – even for demanding international assignments.
