Many companies outgrow or expand their facilities. For some businesses, this is a simple matter. They just need to move some desks and office equipment and they are ready to go. However, for manufacturing companies that outgrow their current facility and need to move, are expanding their building or are opening up more facilities across the state or country, there is much more involved. These types of changes usually means moving equipment from one place to another, and this requires the help of a Millwright in San Antonio.
A Millwright in San Antonio offers several much needed services for a manufacturing facility with changing needs. For a new facility, millwrights will install the new machines that are coming in. This includes both small and large machinery, and can include proprietary machines that are owned only by a single company. In these cases, several millwrights are hired directly by a company and stay on staff long-term.
Millwrights also repair machinery that break down. This won’t be typical repairs, such as a repairing a frayed wire. These men and women will assemble a large piece of machinery, clean it, do any needed repairs and put it back together again.
When a manufacturer is moving machines within their facility, or they are moving to a new location, they may hire a moving company that employs a millwright. These people oversee the entire moving process, from taking apart the machines in their old location, making an inventory of the pieces, loading them onto the appropriate vehicles and then reversing that process when they arrive to the new space or facility.
Once the machine has been put back together, the millwright will ensure that it’s working properly. If it’s not, they will take the machine apart, fix it and put it back together again. If anything is damaged in transit, they will be responsible for ordering the new part and getting the machine functioning again.
Construction companies will often use moving companies with millwrights. This means that the construction company won’t have to take responsibility for the machines they need moved between sites. They can feel confident knowing that an expert is there to make sure that everything is working when the construction work gets started.
