Plant Dismantling
& Reinstallation

Taking a plant apart is easy; taking it apart so it goes back together in tolerance is the hard part. Every disconnected cable, drained line and unbolted foundation has to be documented, or reinstallation becomes a fault-finding exercise. BENZ Packaging dismantles and reinstalls machinery and complete plants with full documentation and OEM-grade care, then recommissions them back into production, worldwide.

The Challenge

The Reconnection Is Where Moves Go Wrong

Most of the cost and risk in a machinery move is not in lifting steel, it is in the hundreds of connections that have to come apart and go back together exactly. Power, control, hydraulic, pneumatic and coolant services all route to each machine in a specific way; foundations are set, levelled and grouted to fine tolerances; and the alignment between drives, couplings and cells is the result of careful commissioning. Disconnect all of that without documentation and reinstallation turns into weeks of chasing faults, misalignment and trial-and-error, with the plant idle the whole time.

BENZ dismantles to a documented method. Every service is isolated and labelled, every fastener set and shim is bagged and referenced, and machines are photographed and tagged against a layout before anything is disconnected. Dismantling follows a sequence built around the rigging and the foundations, with risk assessments, method statements and lifting plans governing the work. At the destination the sequence runs in reverse: foundations prepared, machines positioned and levelled, services reconnected to the record, alignment restored and a controls-led recommissioning that brings the plant back online in order rather than all at once.

What Dismantling & Reinstallation Covers

From the first isolation to a recommissioned machine, documented end to end.

Service Isolation & Labelling
Power, control, hydraulic, pneumatic and coolant services isolated and labelled against a record so they reconnect exactly.
Documented Disconnection
Machines photographed and tagged, fasteners and shims bagged and referenced, before anything is disconnected.
Rigging & Lifting
Lifting plans, rated gear and skilled riggers move heavy and awkward assemblies safely off and onto their foundations.
Foundations & Levelling
Foundations prepared, machines positioned, levelled and grouted to the fine tolerances they were originally set to.
Alignment & Reconnection
Drives, couplings and cells re-aligned and every service reconnected to the documented record.
Recommissioning
A controls-led restart brings the plant back online in the correct sequence, with snagging resolved as it arises.

Dismantling & Reinstallation Checklist

What a BENZ project covers from isolation to a recommissioned machine.

  • Survey the plant and produce risk assessments, method statements and lifting plans
  • Photograph and tag machines and services against a layout
  • Isolate and label power, control, hydraulic, pneumatic and coolant services
  • Bag and reference fasteners, shims and small parts
  • Dismantle in the planned sequence with rated rigging
  • Preserve machined surfaces with VCI where transit or storage follows
  • Prepare foundations, position, level and grout at the destination
  • Re-align, reconnect to the record and run a controls-led recommissioning

How We Dismantle & Reinstall

One accountable team, from isolation at origin to a recommissioned machine at destination.

01

Survey & Safety Plan

Plant survey and the risk assessments, method statements and lifting plans that govern a safe, compliant project.

02

Tagging & Isolation

Machines and services photographed, tagged and isolated, with fasteners and shims bagged and referenced.

03

Sequenced Dismantling

Dismantling in the planned order with rated rigging, protecting alignment-critical assemblies.

04

Preservation & Transport

Machined surfaces VCI-protected where transit or storage follows, and assemblies prepared for the move.

05

Foundations & Positioning

Foundations prepared, machines positioned, levelled and grouted to their original tolerances.

06

Alignment & Recommissioning

Drives and cells re-aligned, services reconnected to the record, and a controls-led restart into production.
