Case Study
Installation of plant in Iceland
Beck & Pollitzer completed the installation of a new plant in Iceland, following 2 years of negotiations. The project lasted 20 months and involved over 400 employees.
The plant in question is one of the most advanced and environmentally-friendly silicon metal production plants in the world. During its erection, our team was responsible for all of the mechanical, piping and electrical work involved. This included:
-
Offloading 8,000 tons of equipment, plus ducting and pipework during 2 heavy winters and polar nights
-
The installation and erection of new parts
-
Assistance with cold function tests and commissioning of SAF plant and all auxiliary equipment
The three biggest challenges for this project were:
-
The completion of mechanical and electrical works before the deadline
-
The demanding project management and logistics for hundreds of workers, who rotated between the site and their home countries
-
The co-operation between the Beck & Pollitzer team and other contractors on site (amounting to over 500 people in 8 companies)
This extensive plant installation project was completed on time, without incident, and – above all – to the client’s satisfaction.
