Client background
Our client is a prominent player in the rapidly expanding battery manufacturing industry in the UK, which is committed to advancing sustainable energy solutions. Operating a state-of-the-art facility, they specialise in the production of advanced battery technologies vital for the automotive and renewable energy sectors.
With escalating demand and a clear need to efficiently scale up production, the client required a partner with proven expertise in precision machinery installation and heavy industrial services to seamlessly integrate new, highly sensitive production lines into their operational infrastructure.
The success of this project was fundamental to their strategic growth objectives and ability to meet ambitious production targets.
Project scope
AIS Eurelo’s comprehensive scope of work for this critical installation covered several key areas. Our involvement began with the receipt and meticulous inspection of the battery stack assembly line components upon their arrival on-site. Following this, our skilled teams undertook the complex lift and shift repositioning of this highly sensitive equipment to its precise final location within the plant.
A core element of the project was providing dedicated mechanical and electrical staff specifically for the intricate reassembly operations of the battery stack line. This included ensuring all mechanical components were correctly assembled and aligned, and carrying out essential electrical testing for continuity and earth bonding. We supplied all necessary tools, tackle, and specialist plant equipment required to execute all installation works for the entire 10-week programme, ensuring a holistic and efficient delivery.
Challenges and solutions
This project presented several challenges that are typical within the high-value, high-precision industrial installations in the battery and EV manufacturing sector.
The primary challenge was the precise installation and reassembly of the battery stack assembly line itself. This equipment is incredibly delicate and complex, requiring not only specialist tools but also highly trained personnel capable of working with extreme accuracy to ensure optimal future performance.
Our solution involved leveraging the expertise of our mechanical and electrical teams. Their deep understanding of this intricate machinery reassembly, coupled with a meticulous approach to precision, ensured that every component was positioned and connected with exacting accuracy.
Another challenge was the tight project timescale; 10 weeks for a project of this value and complexity presented a significant logistical challenge. To overcome this, AIS Eurelo implemented a rigorous project management methodology, with a dedicated Project Manager and Health & Safety Manager overseeing all activities. This involved meticulous planning, efficient resource allocation, conducting regular toolbox talks and risk assessments, and continuous on-site coordination to ensure every task was executed promptly, safely, and effectively. Our proactive approach minimised potential delays and kept the project firmly on schedule, demonstrating our capability to deliver within demanding operational windows.
