Beverage Bottling Facility – Edison, NJ
At a beverage bottling facility in Edison, NJ, Byers delivered a turnkey rigging and mechanical installation program sequenced over two mobilizations. Work planning targeted normal business hours—Monday through Saturday, 10-hour shifts—to coordinate safely with parallel trades and maintain schedule while equipment was unpacked, set, anchored, and installed per the issued scope.
Phase 1 focused on placing and anchoring core process equipment for filling and thermal treatment. Phase 2 integrated the remaining line elements: empty-container conveyance, vacuum bridge, air rinsing, coding/marking, multiple inspection points (empty, full, and post-warmer), filled-container conveyance, pasteurization with ancillary systems, container drying, tray packing, case conveyance (including spiral elevation changes), pallet conveyance, and case labeling. Certain conveyor runs were designed to mount to owner-provided supports along a column line, with mechanical contractors installing conveyors onto those supports.
Execution emphasized safe rigging, precise alignment, and clean interfaces with existing infrastructure, with clear delineations and exclusions to streamline coordination (e.g., dumpsters, bathrooms, electrical, and piping by others; no start-up support time included). The result is a maintainable, production-ready mechanical backbone set for utility/electrical tie-ins and efficient commissioning.
