The Challenge
230 workers, 610 days, one accountable team
A greenfield metals plant depends on getting its heaviest, most sensitive equipment right first, since everything downstream relies on it. Beck & Pollitzer supported an Asian aluminium manufacturing specialist with exactly that scale of installation, delivering the full range of industrial installation services needed to bring a new aluminium rolling and casting plant online in Kathua, Jammu.
Over a sustained 610-day programme, a dedicated on-site team of 230 workers plus 25 supervisors and engineers carried out the installation and commissioning of every piece of production machinery on site.

Mobile cranes of up to 300 tonnes supported the safe placement of the Mill and Caster housings, with piping systems, including hydraulic, lubrication and rolling oil lines, fabricated and leak-tested to specification. Following the mechanical and electrical build-out, Beck & Pollitzer worked directly with OEM teams to complete commissioning and bring the plant to full operational status.
The Outcome
230 workers plus 25 supervisors, 610 days, full handover
With mechanical, electrical, structural and piping scopes delivered as one integrated programme, the plant reached full operational status through joint commissioning with the equipment OEMs.
The result gave the client a fully operational aluminium rolling and casting plant, brought online through a single, accountable delivery team across the full 610-day programme.
