Transforming Storage into Innovation: South Coast Manufacturing Facility Fit-Out
At Cliftons Projects, we thrive on turning challenges into opportunities. When a global personal care products provider sought to transform an underutilised storage space into a cutting-edge manufacturing facility, they turned to us for project management and programme planning expertise.
This wasn’t just a refurbishment, it was a complete reimagining of the space, requiring meticulous coordination of specialist suppliers, complex service modifications, and seamless integration of high-tech manufacturing equipment. With production deadlines looming and a live factory operating around us, every decision had to be precise, every sequence meticulously planned.
Bringing Order to Complexity
Our role was to act as the central orchestrator, ensuring that each element of the project flowed seamlessly into the next. Using PowerProjects software, we developed a detailed programme that harmonised multiple workstreams, maintained efficiency, and eliminated costly downtime. Working within a live production environment meant our planning had to be surgical, every move accounted for, every disruption minimised.
From concept to commissioning, we oversaw:
Strip Out & Structural Enhancements – Clearing the existing space and reinforcing the structure to accommodate high-spec manufacturing operations.
Precision Service Modifications – Upgrading essential systems including:
Chilled water for temperature-sensitive production.
Compressed air for high-performance machinery.
Purified water & steam for hygiene-critical processes.
Specialist Plant & Equipment Installation – Coordinating the precise delivery, positioning, and integration of complex manufacturing technology.
Manufacturing Vessels & Ancillary Systems – Ensuring each component was installed to optimise efficiency and output.
Commissioning, Validation & Compliance – Fine-tuning every system to meet rigorous industry standards and ensure seamless operation.
A Live Environment, A High-Stakes Challenge
Delivering a project in the heart of an operational factory is no small feat. It required strategic phasing, real-time coordination, and an acute awareness of the impact on live production lines. We navigated logistical challenges, implemented stringent safety measures, and ensured that every milestone was met without disrupting the client’s existing operations.
The result? A state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that is now at the forefront of innovation, helping our client bring high-quality personal care products to market faster and more efficiently than ever before.
