How do you move a 10-ton machine when it won't fit through the door? You make a new one! 🚛🏗️
We recently completed an intensive 5-day industrial project moving a massive Edwards Pearson CNC press brake from one end of a factory to another. Because of its sheer size and weight, standard access routes were completely off the table.
The 5-day turn-around:
🧱 Knock-Through: Carefully formed a precision opening in the factory's structural exterior wall.
⚙️ The Move: Coordinated the heavy machinery relocation, maneuvering the 10-ton press brake safely through the temporary access point.
🧱 Rebuilding & Securing: Blocked the opening back up using high-density concrete blocks, restoring total structural integrity and security to the building.
From structural knock-throughs to commercial re-instatements, no job is too big or complex for our team.
