A Cool Solution: Finch of Bookham’s Expert Chiller Changeover in Liverpool

The Challenge:

The chiller in question on this machine move was a key component of the facility’s operations, ensuring optimal temperature control for the sensitive printing processes. Replacing it meant downtime needed to be minimized and disruptions avoided. The unit itself was massive, with a weight and size that presented logistical hurdles in transportation and placement. To add to the complexity of this contract lift, the installation site offered limited access and required strict adherence to safety protocols.

Preparation is Key:

At Finch of Bookham, we believe that success starts well before the first bolt is turned. For this project, our team conducted an in-depth site survey to assess challenges and identify the best solutions. We worked closely with the facility’s management to develop a step-by-step plan that aligned with their operational needs.

A key part of our preparation was assembling the right equipment. For this job, we brought in specialized lifting gear and manoeuvring tools tailored to the chiller’s dimensions and weight. We also coordinated with transport partners to ensure smooth delivery to the site.

Expert Execution:

On the day of the changeover, our crew arrived ready to tackle the task with their usual professionalism and precision. Safety was our top priority, with every team member briefed on the plan and wearing the necessary protective gear. Working methodically, we carefully removed the old chiller, navigating tight spaces with our specialized rigging equipment.

The new chiller was then hoisted into place, a process that required absolute coordination among the team. With millimetre-level accuracy, we positioned the unit, secured it, and ensured all connections were perfectly aligned.

The Result:

Thanks to our meticulous planning and skilled execution, the entire process was completed within the scheduled window. The news printing facility was able to resume operations without significant downtime, and the new chiller is now running smoothly, ensuring consistent performance for the business.
