Define the equipment and the installation boundary
Start with the machine identity, present condition, origin if it is being relocated, destination and proposed timing. Available manuals, drawings and installation information help establish the machine requirements and identify interfaces with site services or other equipment.
The scope should distinguish the physical installation, engineering commissioning, specialist site services and any production or acceptance requirements. A request for installation does not automatically include every activity associated with a move or facility project.
Prepare the receiving site
The receiving site needs to be considered before the machine arrives. Share photographs, layouts and known restrictions early enough for access, positioning and specialist responsibilities to be discussed.
Access and final position
Provide door, route and loading-area information, the intended machine position and known floor or space restrictions. Machine dimensions and approximate weight are useful where available.
Utilities and interfaces
Identify the utilities and external systems expected at the machine, together with who is responsible for making them available. Existing production-line or data interfaces should be described rather than assumed.
Specialist handling
Where lifting or transport is required, the equipment, access and responsibilities need to be coordinated. Crane/HIAB and haulage are subcontracted, as is electrical disconnection when it forms part of a related move.
Agree responsibilities before work starts
PMI's machinery work and the tasks of the customer, equipment supplier and specialist subcontractors must be clear for the particular project. Site authority, access, sequencing and dependencies can affect both timing and what can be completed in one attendance.
If the project begins with a machine move, PMI undertakes physical decommissioning, dismantling and removal within the agreed machinery scope. Crane/HIAB, haulage and electrical disconnection are subcontracted and should not be read as in-house PMI services.
Define commissioning and handover expectations
Engineering commissioning is agreed against the specific equipment and project boundary. Tell PMI how the machine is expected to interact with surrounding equipment, what material or operator input will be available and which parties need to be present when the installation is reviewed.
The first enquiry begins the assessment; it does not establish a fixed date, a universal commissioning procedure or acceptance of conditions that have not yet been examined.
Questions about your requirement
What should I provide for a machine installation enquiry?
Provide the machine make and model, condition, origin and destination where relevant, dimensions and approximate weight if known, receiving-site access, available documentation, required timing and the commissioning outcome to be discussed.
Can PMI install and commission machinery?
PMI undertakes machinery installation and engineering commissioning within an agreed equipment-specific scope. The machine, site interfaces, access and responsibilities must be reviewed before the work and timing can be confirmed.
Are lifting, haulage and electrical disconnection carried out in-house?
No. Crane/HIAB, haulage and electrical disconnection are subcontracted when required. Those specialist responsibilities and their coordination are agreed as part of the project scope.
Can installation be discussed together with a machine move?
Yes. Include both sites, the removal and receiving-site requirements, and whether engineering commissioning is needed. This allows the physical move, specialist inputs and installation scope to be considered together while keeping responsibilities clear.
