Moonachie, NJ – Industrial Manufacturing Plant Relocation and Decommissioning

Industrial Manufacturing Plant

Heritage Industrial Services, Inc. (Heritage) –was contracted to perform an Industrial Manufacturing Plant Closure and Decommission project at a 400,000 sq. ft. plant located in Moonachie, NJ.  The project was performed for a large International manufacturer of foils, laminates and holographic materials.

Over the years, Heritage had been the contractor of choice for handling the machinery and equipment within the facility. Heritage was contracted by the client based on its competitive bid, past turn-key services provided and ability to perform this work under a critical path schedule.

Production at the plant ended in Mid-July 2018 and removal work started simultaneously, with a completion deadline set in end-September 2018. This timeline gave Heritage less than 12 weeks to dismantle, load, and remove all the machinery and equipment within the plant, delivering the plant completely empty to the customer on-time.
