Installation, commissioning & support
Machine installation, commissioning and plant shifting
The riskiest weeks of any project fall between delivery and stable production. We plan and execute installation, commissioning, relocation and ramp-up so equipment reaches rated output quickly — with documented acceptance at every step.

Overview
From delivery to stable output — without the gap
Equipment that works at the builder's facility often struggles on site: foundations are not ready, utilities are undersized, interfaces between vendors do not match, and nobody owns the ramp-up. Weeks are lost and the start-of-production date slips.
We plan installation before equipment is dispatched — foundation and anchoring data, utilities readiness checks, rigging plans, interface lists and a commissioning protocol with acceptance criteria. On site, our team erects, aligns, connects and commissions, then supports the plant through ramp-up until output is stable.
We also relocate existing plants and lines — dismantling, tagging, shifting, re-installation and re-validation — and can act as the single site lead for equipment supplied by others.
What we build
Installation and commissioning services
Machine & line installation
Erection, levelling, alignment, anchoring and utilities hook-up for machines, lines and conveyors.
Commissioning & trials
Dry runs, I/O checks, safety-function tests, trial production and cycle-time proving.
FAT & SAT management
Protocols, witness tests and signed acceptance at the builder's facility and on your site.
Plant shifting & relocation
Dismantling, tagging, packing, transport coordination, re-installation and re-commissioning.
Single site lead for multiple suppliers
One accountable lead for interfaces, schedule and acceptance when several suppliers are involved.
Ramp-up & stabilisation
On-site engineers during ramp-up to fix issues, train operators and tune the process.
Preventive maintenance & AMC
Planned maintenance, inspections and breakdown support after handover.
Modifications & upgrades
Variant additions, safety upgrades, control retrofits and capacity upgrades to installed equipment.
Documentation & training
SOPs, maintenance manuals, spares lists and structured operator and maintenance training.
Technical
Installation & Commissioning — applications, specifications and deliverables
The same three-part technical structure on every solution page, so engineering and procurement can compare scopes without reading marketing copy.
Applications
What it is applied to
- New line installation in a running plant
- Commissioning imported machines
- Relocating a plant to a new building or city
- Consolidating two plants into one
- Ramp-up support for a new model launch

How each element is engineered
The design decisions behind the specification above.
| Pre-installation | Foundation and anchoring data, utilities readiness checklist, rigging plan, site safety plan |
|---|---|
| Installation | Levelling and alignment to specified tolerances, grouting support, utilities connection |
| Electrical | Cable-laying coordination, panel installation, I/O and earthing checks |

Industries we serve
Why Mecwerx
Why manufacturers choose us for this
Planned before dispatch
Site readiness, utilities and interfaces are verified before equipment arrives.
Protocol-based acceptance
Every system is accepted against written criteria — not a verbal 'it works'.
One site lead
Even with multiple suppliers, you get one accountable person on site.
We stay for ramp-up
Support continues until output is stable, not until the machine is switched on.
Quotation checklist
What we need for an accurate installation quote
Send what you have. Missing details are fine — we will fill the gaps during the technical discussion.
- Equipment list with sizes and weights
- Current and new site layouts
- Target dates and production windows
- Utilities available at site
- Equipment suppliers involved
- Scope: installation only, or with commissioning and ramp-up
FAQ
Installation & Commissioning: common questions
What is the difference between FAT and SAT?
A factory acceptance test (FAT) is done at the builder's facility before dispatch to prove the equipment meets specification. A site acceptance test (SAT) is done after installation at your plant to prove it performs in your conditions, with your utilities and parts.
Can you install and commission equipment supplied by other vendors?
Yes. We can act as the single site lead — coordinating installation, interfaces and commissioning of equipment from multiple suppliers — or install and commission specific machines to their documentation.
Do you shift complete plants?
Yes. We plan and execute plant and line relocation: dismantling with tagging and records, shifting coordination, re-installation, re-commissioning and re-validation, phased to limit lost production.
Do you offer AMC for lines and machines?
Yes. Annual maintenance contracts cover planned preventive maintenance, inspections and breakdown support for lines, conveyors, SPMs and fixtures.
How do you minimise downtime when installing in a running plant?
Equipment is pre-built and tested before it arrives, site work is sequenced into shutdowns, weekends or phased cut-overs, and utilities and interfaces are made ready in advance.
