PEPSI CO PLANT AND EQUIPMENT RELOCATION – ADELAIDE

Workplace Alliance was commissioned by Pepsi Co after a successful plant relocation to Thailand, to undertake a similar relocation project in Adelaide.

The Pepsi Co Adelaide site project required the safe and efficient removal, identification, packing and shipping of an entire product line, all whilst production continued on other operating lines.

Workplace Alliance have a dedicated professional team committed to plant relocations, and after confirming scopes, the mobilisation began.

The project was initially estimated to take 12-14 days, however our professional team was able to complete the project, including demobilisation, in 11 days.

Most importantly the project was completed with zero safety incidents, zero impact on Pepsi Co production, and was completed ahead of schedule and under budget to the satisfaction of the client.

Below is a photo gallery demonstrating the project and our professional approach.

We wish to thank our team led by Michael Mills, Phil Bissett, Darren Goulter, Sarah Carty and Brad Nye for their attention to detail and professional attitude.

Workplace Alliance also wish to thank Pepsi Co for their trust in our family operated, value add engineering company.

PLANT STRIP OUT AND RELOCATION – BAYSWATER, MELBOURNE

Recently, Workplace Alliance completed a plant strip out and relocation for a client in Bayswater, Melbourne East.

We removed three major yarn extruders, ovens, coolers, compressors along with other associated equipment.

The project, headed by Michael Mills, involves trades working both day and night to achieve a turn around inside a week.

With safety on-site a priority, a robust, live SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement), along with daily toolbox meetings is essential.

A Traffic Management Plan was also central to our works, as we utilised mobile plant and cranes, as well as having a number of people moving around and near the site.

Workplace Alliance is proud to advise these works have been achieved with zero safety incidents, ahead of time and on budget.

Above are some images from the project.
