Delivering a new plywood and engineered wood facility for Thébault Group in twelve months.

The Challenge
A new plywood and LVL facility, built and installed in one programme
Expanding engineered wood production means installing multiple production lines within a live construction environment, where sequencing across disciplines determines whether the build stays on schedule. Our team in France supported Thébault Group with exactly that expansion, delivering the construction and installation of a new facility dedicated to plywood and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) production.
Carried out over twelve months, the project needed mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and process-fluid disciplines sequenced carefully enough to keep several production lines progressing in parallel.
Our Solution
Machinery transport, installation and commissioning, sequenced across disciplines
Mechanical, electrical and instrumentation installation across all production areas |
Hydraulics, process fluids and piping systems, including specialist X-ray inspection testing |
Full project management, planning and HSE oversight throughout |
Coordination of machinery transport and logistics, including oversized vehicles from Northern Europe |
Parallel mechanical and electrical installation to keep both systems integrating on schedule |

Detailed delivery planning and on-site material handling kept installation progressing continuously, even as oversized transport moved across borders to reach the site, applying the same project management discipline used across Beck & Pollitzer’s international projects.
The Outcome
All production zones delivered, ready for commissioning
With logistics and installation sequenced against a single programme, the facility was delivered with every major production zone installed and ready for commissioning, completed in line with the twelve-month plan.
The result supported Thébault Group’s strategic growth, increasing production capacity and strengthening its position in the engineered wood and plywood market.
