Steel pipeline production building for manufacturing company

New building installed whilst production continues

If every minute is vital, and you can’t halt production for a moment, how do you go about having a new building built, whilst your production continues?

It’s a tricky one, and yet that is precisely the challenge we faced with a new undersea pipe line production facility on the Cromarty Firth in Rosshire, North Scotland, recently.

New undersea pipeline
examination facility

Undersea pipes pass through facility

The production line of the pipework continued to run throughout the entire build, which meant our installation team had to install the buildings whilst production continued.

Designed to withstand the severe
winds of North Scotland

Supplied with 14mtr wide x 5.5mtr high
sliding doors for X-Ray machine access

Cladding supplied in slate blue with
poppy red doors to match existing
buildings and corporate colours

As you can see, this was a bit of a ‘Challenge Anneka’ affair, and with very, very stringent Health And Safety regulations; it’s even more impressive to think that this entire 8,400sq ft facility was built whilst production of the undersea pipes continued.
