Project overview – During a crucial two-week period, Beck & Pollitzer carried out a high-stakes upgrade for a Tier 1 automotive manufacturer in Hungary. The project included loader rail modifications, the installation of a new overhead conductor, and the removal of twenty years’ worth of redundant cabling, all while production was halted for the summer shutdown.
Specialist methods & tools – Expert execution at height and across multiple disciplines required precision and agility. We deployed:
- Leica NA720 for high-accuracy levelling
- Haulotte MEWPs (Star10 & HA-15 IP) for safe aerial access
- Hilti TE 4-22 drills for efficient structural adjustments
Outcome & safety Improvements – “Removing the old cabling was a particular point of pride for the team,” said Project Manager Norbert Varga. “It’s not just about tidiness; it’s a tangible safety improvement that significantly reduced the load on the roof.”
As with all summer shutdowns, the challenge was balancing speed with uncompromising safety. Operating on a busy, multi-contractor site required precise coordination. Beck & Pollitzer managed this by rescheduling non-essential tasks, segregating work zones, and establishing clear movement routes to reduce overlap with other teams.
