Plant Shutdown & Relocation
ICM is an award-winning leader in industrial construction and maintenance, and one of our specialties is plant shutdowns and/or relocations. Most plant shutdowns must be done quickly, with little to no downtime, which is why we work around the clock to ensure your project requirements are met. Whether it’s a planned or unplanned pause in operations, plant shutdowns require a strict adherence to tight timelines. Our team facilitates plant shutdowns for everything from minor maintenance to complete overhauls with a focus on safety and quality. ICM has managed plant shutdowns for several industries, including:
- Demoing, removing and reinstalling a 600,000-pound car shredder at the Evraz Steel Recycling Plant. The equipment could shred a car down to 1 to 2-inch diameter pieces, and needed to be completely demoed and reinstalled in less than 29 days.
- Replacing an entire process piping system at Corden Pharma, a Colorado pharmaceutical company, which required the pipe to go entirely offline for repairs.
- Repairing a bearing at the Evraz Pueblo Steel Mill, which took the steel mill completely offline. We worked 24/7 on this project to get the mill back up and running in three weeks.
- Demoing and replacing the casting machine for Golden Aluminum in Colorado, which was offline for only two weeks.
