Flegg Projects & Installation Services
– providing ongoing support to the
innovative UK packaging sector
Keeping abreast of the latest technolo-
gies and development is as vital in the
packaging sector as it is in any sector.
So when a leading packaging manufac-
turer across over 30 countries, identified
a specialised packaging production
machine, it was to become the ‘first of
its kind’ in the UK.
With such a heavy investment, there
were inevitable concerns about the ins-
tallation process, which would require
hundreds of separate lifts with some in
excess of 22,000 kgs. There were also
natural concerns over the ability for the
working factory to maintain its high
production levels.
Two key decisions, or imperatives, were
taken that would have a great impact
on the project’s outcome - the first
was to commission Flegg Projects to
undertake the installation, and the se-
cond to keep the plant fully functioning
at all times.
Like in any business, any downtown
in production would affect the bottom
line. A challenge indeed but for Flegg
Projects, with their experience of relo-
cating and installing heavy machinery,
the project was ‘business as usual’
in some respects. Every project is of
course different and Flegg treats them
as unique but common to all installa-
tion projects is the need for informed
planning, superb project management,
clear communications and adequate
resource. This installation was a com-
plex undertaking, as the factory had to
remain fully operational, and it involved
several onsite contractors, across a times. With critical timings projects
