Relocating heavy or critical equipment, whether within a facility, between sites, or as part of a plant expansion, carries real risk if it isn't planned with the same rigor as new construction. ICPE provides engineering support for equipment relocation projects, evaluating structural, mechanical, and electrical requirements to ensure equipment can be safely disconnected, moved, and reinstalled without damage, extended downtime, or costly rework.
The ICPE team assesses rigging and lifting requirements, foundation and structural support conditions at both the origin and destination, and the utility and process connections that must be reestablished, identifying potential conflicts and constraints before equipment ever leaves its foundation. For operating facilities, ICPE plans relocations with an emphasis on minimizing disruption to ongoing operations, sequencing work to keep downtime as short as possible.
From feasibility assessment through final reinstallation and startup, ICPE brings the same technical discipline to equipment relocation that it applies to new capital projects, because moving critical equipment successfully takes more than logistics. It takes engineering.
- Pre-move documentation, scanning, and match-marking plans
- Decommissioning and rigging coordination
- Foundations, steel, and utilities at the receiving site
- Power, controls, and piping reconnection design
- Permitting and code upgrades triggered by the move
- Recommissioning and performance verification
- Relocation execution plans
- Receiving-site construction packages
- Reconnection drawings across disciplines
- Verified startup at the new location
