Copper Replacements and Annual Shutdown

Type: Annual Shutdown
Environment: Distillery
Construction Value: £2.5m over 6 weeks and 14800 hours


Collard & Co were contracted as Principal Contractor for a plant shutdown to replace 15 condensors and various other pieces of plant equipment at a large distillery and maltings complex.
The project was completed on a condensed program to meet production demands and involved the safe supervision and co-ordination of over 3000 contractor hours per week. The work included a significant amount of complex work requiring close management of high-risk works such as complex lifting operations, plant isolations and multi-stakeholder simultaneous operations.

The project was completed without accident or incident and won widespread recognition and compliments from the Client’s operational team, project staff and safety department, resulting in a follow-on project being booked before we completed the works.

While others only offer to advise in these circumstances, Collard & Co will step into the breach accepting an appointment as Principal Contractor and taking legal responsibility for the health and safety of the project in the delivery phase.
