Full Production-Hall Clear-Out & Overseas Equipment Export
Complete clear-out of an old dairy production hall ahead of demolition — dismantling, marking and exporting the entire process line to a new owner on another continent. Around 20 silos (eight of them 15 t and 16 m tall), the roof opened for vertical extraction, cranes up to 250 t, and roughly 20 truckloads shipped out.

The challenge
An entire working production hall had to be stripped of equipment before the building was demolished — and every unit had to survive the journey to another continent in full working order, ready to be re-assembled.
- Oversized silos — eight units of 15 t and up to 16 m tall — physically would not fit through the building's existing openings.
- Heavy machinery in tight internal spaces with restricted access had to be extracted intact.
- Everything was going to a new owner overseas, so each unit had to keep full functionality, be precisely marked for re-assembly and pass customs.
Our approach
- 1
Survey & plan
Assessment of the whole hall, with a dismantling, marking and extraction-logistics plan for every single unit — including how to get the oversized items out.
- 2
Engineering & rigging
Mobile cranes up to 250 t, forklifts and professional rigging gear. The roof was opened to extract the silos vertically; heavy units were slung and lifted in confined space.
- 3
Dismantling
Phased dismantling of ~20 silos (8 at 15 t / 16 m) and a large array of process equipment, every unit taken apart precisely and kept intact.
- 4
Marking
Thorough marking of every unit and connection for re-assembly. For items over transport gauge, engineers pre-designed cut lines so they could later be welded back exactly, without affecting function.
- 5
Logistics & export
Customs preparation and international transport to the final recipient overseas — loaded and shipped on roughly 20 trucks.
- 6
Hand-over
Re-assembly is by the client at the new site; NM Solutions delivered the dismantling, preservation, marking and shipping.
What made it unusual
Opening the roof as a deliberate engineering solution for extracting the oversized silos, and engineered cut-and-weld schemes for the largest units — equipment split for transport without losing any functionality, then welded back to plan.

Safety
The hall was fully cleared for demolition and the equipment shipped overseas in complete order. Thanks to the roof opening, 250 t crane work, precise marking and the engineered cut schemes, the client is re-assembling the line on another continent with no loss of function — units that had to be cut have been welded back to plan and run normally.
