ROSS Rigging a division of our engineering business were awarded one of Europe’s largest fitout projects, consisting of the installation of 2,286 state-of-the-art, first of a kind, manufacturing equipment (tools) used in the fabrication of silicon chips, in a new facility consisting of 150,000sqm. This was a complex and demanding undertaking that required a high level of expertise and precision. Our scope of work was extensive and covered every aspect of the installation process, from the initial surveying and setting out, to the final commissioning support of the tools.

The surveying and setting out involved a detailed assessment of the installation site to ensure that it was suitable for the equipment and that there was sufficient space for them to be installed and operated. We used state of the art specialized rigging equipment and techniques to ensure that the tools were installed at the correct location and orientation to meet the required layout and specifications.

The de-crating process involved carefully unpacking the equipment from their crates and preparing them for move-in. This required a high level of care and attention to prevent any damage to the delicate components of the tools during the unpacking process.

Specialty rigging was used to move the equipment into position, many of these items were notable for their substantial dimensions and significant weighing in excess of 10,000kg, and required careful handling to ensure that they were not damaged during the installation process. Our team used specialized lifting equipment and techniques to ensure that the equipment were moved safely and accurately into position.

Once the tools were in place, we proceeded with the installation process, under the guidance of the vendors, which involved the careful assembly and connection of various components. This required a high level of technical expertise and precision to ensure that the components were installed to the clients specific tolerances.
