Reinstalling a previously dismantled plant, including an 8m-wide, 600-tonne dryer and an 85m chimney, with six other Beck & Pollitzer business units supporting the Ukraine team.

The Challenge
Reinstalling major plant equipment through north-western Ukraine winter conditions
A repeat global client required a plant dismantled a year earlier in Bischweier, Germany, to be reinstalled in Ukraine. The work included welding and assembling an 8m-wide, 600-tonne dryer and erecting an 85m chimney, with winter temperatures in the region falling below -15°C.
Our Solution
Ukraine team supported by six other business units for installation and specialist welding
The project brought together Beck & Pollitzer teams from Ukraine, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Russia. Specialist welding support was provided for the dryer assembly as part of the machinery installation work, with welding equipment preheated using propane burners to manage the freezing conditions.
The Outcome
Ukraine team supported by six other business units for the dryer and chimney work
Beck & Pollitzer Ukraine worked with support from teams in Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Russia, combining local installation resources with specialist welding support for the dryer and chimney work.
