Site Supervision for Manufacturing Plant Expansion: Managing Quality, Cost and Execution

Existing utilities

Underground and above-ground services should be identified before excavation, demolition or modification.

Production continuity

Construction activities should be coordinated so that critical production operations are not unnecessarily interrupted.

Shutdowns and tie-ins

Activities requiring isolation or shutdown should be planned around approved windows rather than treated as routine construction.

Work segregation

Construction personnel, vehicles and materials should be controlled where they interact with operating areas.

Dust, vibration and noise

Activities should be evaluated for their potential effect on production areas, sensitive equipment and workers.

This makes brownfield supervision fundamentally different from simply monitoring a new building site.
