Kigtek are currently the principal contractors on a large scale valve replacement project for a major spirit production site in Scotland. The aim is to replace over 60 3port valves with over 120 2 port valves, as the current valves are obsolete. The project has four phases, the second being successfully completed over valentines weekend. As principal contractors, Kigtek worked with J&I Pipework Services for the mechanical works, Bray UK for specification and coordination of valves, and Kigtek electrical teams.
The customer specified a narrow weekend production shutdown window of two 12-hour night shift shutdowns in which the teams had to complete:
Kigtek are also providing the CDM management of the project, liaising with client engineering services, permit writers and operations to keep them informed of progress.
Due to the incredible effort from the team on site the line was handed over, fully tested and in service earlier than planned. This was a fantastic success for everyone involved and we were delighted to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers.
“Work over the weekend on the Amri-valve project phase 2 of 4 went extremely well, with a timely start-up on Friday night invasive works allowing for a smooth production start-up both Saturday and Sunday. There was a big effort and focus from all parties, great communication and organisation. So, a big thank you to you and your teams for all their support, with commitment and passion shown by all, both leading up to and including the invasive weekend works.”
