01
Survey the live line
Assets, utilities, access and the shifts that cannot stop are mapped before a crate is designed.
Brownfield projects
Modernizing existing manufacturing facilities.
Everything required to upgrade, relocate, optimize or expand factories already in production — without treating shutdown as an afterthought.
Why this is not a haulage job
A running plant is the constraint. The machine move is the method.
HMT is an industrial engineering and project execution company. Relocation sits inside modernization — alongside retrofit, PLC upgrade and expansion — so shutdown is designed, not discovered on the hook.
- Shutdown windows are written into the method statement.
- The crew that surveyed the line is the crew that restarts it.
- International movement includes packaging, customs and recommissioning.
Relocation sequence
How a machine leaves one floor and starts on another.
02
Disconnect and pack
Export-grade packaging, corrosion control and lifting frames written for the machine, not a generic box.
03
Move and clear
Inland haul, ports and customs sequenced to the installation window — including overseas transfers.
04
Set and restart
Alignment, PLC, trial production and the same engineers through handover.
When the date has already closed
Emergency relocation is still an engineering job.
If a line has to move inside a window that is already gone, the work is faster — not looser. Survey, lift plan, packaging and restart stay on one desk.
- Flagged as emergency at the project desk
- Brownfield scope, compressed sequence
- Same engineers from disconnect to trial
Brownfield services
Upgrade, relocate, optimize, expand.
Seven workstreams for plants that are already running. Relocation sits inside engineering — it is not a separate haulage business.
