Industrial Relocation
With our decades of Industrial Relocation experience, we have helped hundreds of clients relocate manufacturing operations both within the UK and overseas. We have done this whilst minimising disruption to their production and ensuring outstanding safety and compliance throughout their relocation.
As heavy machinery moving experts, VIG offer specialist industrial relocation services that are efficient and cost-effective. Our main aim is to minimise the impact the relocation process has on your business, maximising productivity and avoiding any potential disruption to your operations.
Experts in Industrial Relocation Projects
Whether you are relocating in the UK or overseas, we provide a full industrial relocation service to help you move your existing production lines, machinery or equipment.
Industrial relocations are handled in partnership with our clients, going beyond a basic Lift & Shift, to provide flexible solutions in order to minimise operational downtime and streamline your new production site.
Every machinery move and industrial relocation we perform is centred around safety, and we place it first on our list of priorities. We have a proven safety record due to our decades of experience, documented operating practices, and compliance with regulatory standards.
A full health & safety planning phase is conducted before moving equipment, machinery, or plants. Specifically, this includes Risk Assessments, Method Statements (RAMS), Job Safety Plans, and any necessary safety training. As part of our health & safety program, we also hold regular meetings with all project members (often weekly or monthly).
