Machinery Installation

Installed. Tested. Ready for production.
How Can We Help?

Global machinery installation expertise

Beck & Pollitzer delivers machinery and equipment installation for manufacturers worldwide, connecting and preparing equipment for production. Our scope spans site preparation through mechanical and electrical installation, testing and commissioning support, on projects ranging from individual machines to complete production lines and new manufacturing facilities.

We’ve delivered industrial installations for global manufacturers including GSK, Saint-Gobain and ABB. Across individual projects, our teams have installed more than 3,500 tonnes of equipment and handled more than 800 equipment items.

Regardless of size, each project benefits from our Single Installer Model, bringing together millwrights, riggers, electricians and specialist engineers within one delivery structure. One team manages the interfaces between trades, machinery and site operations, keeping every discipline aligned from installation through to handover.

Our machinery installation capability

From mechanical assembly and precision alignment to electrical integration and commissioning support, our teams cover the principal activities needed to take machinery from arrival on site through to final verification and handover. Each area can form part of a complete installation scope or be delivered as a specialist requirement.

Mechanical installation & alignment

Mechanical installation & alignment

Our mechanical teams position, level, assemble and align machinery to OEM specifications and project requirements. Methods and handling equipment are selected around the asset, tolerances and working environment, with our Precision Services capability supporting specialist measurement and alignment where tighter tolerances are required.

  • Equipment offloading and site placement
  • Precision fitting of mechanical components
  • Fine alignment to manufacturer tolerances
  • Installation to OEM specification
  • New equipment fit-out and integration
  • Laser-based verification and measurement
  • Heavy lift gantries and VersaLifts
  • Specialist transport for oversized loads
Commissioning support & production readiness

Commissioning support & production readiness

What sizes of machinery installation projects do you handle?

Beck & Pollitzer supports projects of widely varying scale, from standalone equipment and production cells to complex multi-line installations. Teams, specialist resources and site management are configured around the complexity, access requirements and technical scope of each project.

What are the key steps in a machinery installation?

A machinery installation typically involves planning and site preparation, unloading and positioning, assembly and alignment, mechanical and electrical connections, testing and commissioning. The exact sequence depends on the equipment, site conditions and production requirements.

For a more detailed breakdown of the process, see our Industrial Intelligence™ guide to the key steps in a successful machinery installation.

Can you install machinery in an existing or operational facility?

Yes. Machinery can be installed within existing manufacturing environments where production, other contractors or site operations continue alongside the work. Access, sequencing, working areas and installation methods are planned around the conditions on site and the interfaces with ongoing operations.

Can you manage multiple contractors and OEM teams during an installation?

Yes. Our Single Installer Model places specialist trades, client teams, OEM representatives and other project stakeholders within a clear delivery structure. This provides clear responsibility for sequencing, interfaces and site activity throughout the work.

Do you provide machinery installation internationally?

Yes. Beck & Pollitzer delivers machinery installation projects worldwide through its international network, mobilising specialist teams across Europe, the Americas, Asia and other manufacturing regions.
