Plant Relocation: Harvey Industries

diggins & ROSE was selected to relocate this Manchester, New Hampshire window and door manufacturing plant into a new 600,000 sq. ft. plant. Our expert blend of office, industrial and machinery moving was exactly what was needed to orchestrate a carefully-planned 2 year schedule to reduce production downtime.

D&R planned all daily manpower and equipment requirements to move 14 production lines, maintenance, parts, raw materials and office areas. Crews ranged daily up to 18 riggers and movers with all support equipment. The company reported no claims, no lost production and the move was finished on budget.

In an interesting step of this process, moving the paint line, a spray booth was originally scheduled to be disassembled and reassembled at a new location at a cost of $50K in addition to weeks of lost production time. Diggins & ROSE was able to move the spray booth in one piece by custom-designing and fabricating a steel angle iron skid on site and removing the booth through the wall of the building. It was loaded and transported as a 16' wide load from Manchester, NH to the new location in Londonderry, NH.
