Factory Relocations

Nova Factory Relocations

Turnkey factory moves planned, sequenced and delivered.

Overview

What Nova Factory Relocations covers

Nova Factory Relocations runs full plant moves under a single point of responsibility. We plan the sequence, decommission the kit, manage the haulage and re-install on the new site — minimising the gap between switch-off and switch-on.

A factory relocation is a programme, not a single job. We start by mapping every asset, its services, its dependencies and its priority — then build a sequenced programme that keeps the most critical equipment offline for the shortest possible window.

Our project managers run the relocation from a single plan, coordinating decommissioning crews, riggers, hauliers and re-install teams.

FAQs

Common questions

How long does a typical factory relocation take?
It depends on plant complexity, but most single-site moves are sequenced over 4–12 weeks with overlapping decommissioning and re-installation phases to minimise downtime.
Can you store equipment between sites?
Yes — we arrange secure interim storage where there is a gap between decommissioning and the new site being ready.
