Compressed Air – Creating Space in a Novel Way

Key Objectives

The Challenge

Our customer’s production facility needed to optimise space for new machinery to support an expanding production line. However, the designated area housed the compressed air system, a critical component that powered the entire factory. The challenge was to relocate this essential equipment efficiently while ensuring zero downtime, maintaining uninterrupted operations, and prioritising a safe working environment for personnel.

The Solution

After carefully analysing the challenge and understanding our customer’s requirements and objectives, we knew an innovative approach was needed.

With no suitable space available inside the facility and no budget for additional construction, we explored a modular solution by modifying two 40ft containers. These containers were re-engineered at our manufacturing facility and then relocated to the customer’s site, providing a practical and cost-effective way to house the compressed air system.

In total, 300kW of compressed air equipment was successfully relocated without any disruption to production or compromising employee safety. As a result, the facility now has the necessary space to accommodate the new machinery and support its expanding production line.

The Result

“We can’t thank the CPA team enough. The innovative and creative solution they came up with has given us exactly what we required; more space.
We trusted CPA to deliver on all of our objectives and we are completely satisfied with the result.”
