Installing body-in-white equipment to a compressed schedule while design changes continued on site
The project required inner and outer body-side equipment, a final hang-on line, roller tables, lift systems and associated structures to be installed for an electric-vehicle programme in California.
The design-to-build period was compressed and multiple modifications had to be carried out with the OEM on site. Wildfires in the California area also disrupted the project supply chain.
Installation teams worked alongside the OEM through modifications and supply constraints
The automotive installation covered the body-in-white assemblies and supporting handling systems, with the team adapting the installation sequence as modifications were made on site.
The project combined machinery installation with direct coordination around the OEM work fronts.
Installation targets maintained during the compressed programme
During this phase of the project, the team was meeting its installation targets despite the compressed programme and wildfire-related supply-chain challenges.
Scope
body sides + final hang-on line + roller tables + lift systems
