Equipment Relocations at THG

Moving a line from one plant to another, or one state to another, is its own discipline. We decommission, build the rigging plan, permit the move, transport, and re-install on the far end. One crew owns it start to finish, so nothing falls through the gap between vendors.

The process

How it works

  1. Walk both ends

    The plant it is leaving and the plant it is going to. Door widths, aisle turns, floor loads, and utilities on both sides before anybody touches a wrench.

  2. Decommission and tag

    Power down, disconnect, and document. Every connection photographed and labeled so the far end is a rebuild, not a puzzle.

  3. Rigging plan and permits

    We write the rigging plan, pull the permits the move needs, and sequence the disassembly to match how it goes back together.

  4. Transport

    Loaded, secured, and moved. Plant to plant or state to state.

  5. Re-install and commission

    Set, level, anchor, reconnect, and commission against the agreed operating requirements. Document any additional repair work identified during the move.

Scope

Scope of work

Discuss the items your project needs. Final scope is confirmed with your quote.

  • Site survey at the origin plant and the destination plant.
  • Decommissioning, disconnection, and lockout.
  • Photographic tagging and labeling of every connection.
  • Written rigging plan and move permits.
  • Disassembly sequenced to the re-assembly order.
  • Transport, plant-to-plant or state-to-state.
  • Foundation check, set, leveling, and anchoring at the far end.
  • Reconnection, commissioning, and run to spec.
Shop & field experience

Shop experience. Field support.

One crew owns the whole move

Nothing falls through the gap between a rigger, a hauler, and an installer, because there is no gap. It is one crew from the disconnect to the first good product.

We document everything

Every connection photographed and tagged on the way out. A relocation goes wrong at the far end, in the details nobody wrote down.

We know what is inside it

We build this equipment. When a module comes apart, we are not guessing about what is behind the panel.

FAQ

Equipment Relocations: common questions

Do you handle the transport, or just the rigging?

The whole move. Decommission, rigging plan, permits, transport, re-install, and commissioning. One crew owns it start to finish.

Can you move equipment between states?

Yes. Plant to plant or state to state, in-house.

How do you keep a relocation from turning into a rebuild?

We photograph and tag every connection before it comes apart, and we sequence the disassembly to match how it has to go back together. The far end is a rebuild when nobody documented the near end.

What if you find problems while it is apart?

We tell you. A line in pieces is the cheapest time in its life to fix something, and we would rather have that conversation then than after it is anchored.

Do you relocate equipment you did not manufacture?

Yes. The discipline is the same regardless of whose nameplate is on the panel.
