Factory Design

04 — What It Covers

A production facility designed for efficiency from day one.

Building or expanding a processing facility is one of the most significant capital decisions a food or beverage business makes. Getting the layout, workflow, and equipment selection right at the design stage prevents costly changes later.

Our engineers work with you from the earliest planning stage — analysing your production volumes, product types, hygiene requirements, and growth plans — to produce a facility design that maximises throughput, minimises waste, and meets all applicable regulatory standards.

We deliver complete plant layouts, equipment schedules, utility requirements, and implementation plans — giving you a clear, costed roadmap from concept to production.

Design scope

Process Flow Analysis

Mapping your production process from raw material intake to finished product dispatch — identifying bottlenecks and optimisation opportunities.

Plant Layout Design

CAD floor plans showing equipment placement, material flow, personnel movement, hygiene zones, and utility routing.

Equipment Selection

Specification and selection of every machine in the production line — matched to your capacity targets, product requirements, and budget.

Utility Planning

Water, steam, compressed air, electrical load, drainage, and refrigeration requirements — sized and planned for your production volumes.

Regulatory Compliance

Design aligned with KEBS, HACCP, GMP, and applicable food safety standards — supporting your certification and licensing process.

Implementation Plan

Phased implementation schedule, equipment procurement plan, and cost estimate — giving you a clear path from design to production.

Design process

01

Discovery

We understand your production goals, product range, capacity targets, site constraints, and regulatory requirements.

02

Concept Design

Initial layout options and equipment schedules are presented for your review and feedback.

03

Detailed Design

Approved concept developed into full CAD drawings, utility schedules, and a costed equipment list.

04

Implementation

We can manage the full implementation — procurement, fabrication, installation, and commissioning — or hand over to your team.
