Streamlined Safety, Storage, and Shipping Upgrades for a Brewery
Project Review
This project focused on a small-scale expansion within a 20,000-square-foot brewery in Alberta, requiring precise coordination and expertise to maintain operational efficiency. Key elements of the project included installing bollards for safety in high-traffic forklift areas, patching concrete surfaces to ensure structural integrity, and securely bolting industrial racking to concrete slabs. Additional work involved assembling and mounting machinery to optimize production workflow and building custom racking to accommodate the storage of kegs, cans, and other materials.
Working within an active facility added complexity, as operations such as brewing, packaging, and shipping continued throughout the expansion. Clear communication with department heads ensured that workspaces were kept safe and disruptions to daily operations were minimized. These upgrades not only enhanced safety and functionality but also prepared the brewery for increased capacity to serve both Canadian and U.S. markets efficiently.
How We Plan Around This
For projects like this, we prioritize maintaining the facility’s ongoing operations while executing upgrades with precision and safety. Bollard installations are completed in high-risk areas to protect workers and equipment, ensuring compliance with safety standards. Concrete patching and bolting industrial racking to slabs are carried out using durable materials and techniques to provide long-term stability and structural reliability.
Mounting machinery is planned and executed to align with the brewery’s workflow, minimizing downtime and maximizing production efficiency. Custom racking is designed and built to meet the specific storage needs of the facility, optimizing space for kegs, cans, and other materials. Work is scheduled in phases or during off-hours to minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth integration of new elements into the existing facility.
By combining technical expertise with a focus on safety and collaboration, we deliver results that enhance the functionality and safety of the brewery while supporting its operational goals.
