Plywood Factory Expansion: Seamless Brownfield Project by PIMA

How a Plywood Manufacturer Seamlessly Expanded Its Factory with PIMA’s Engineering Support

Expanding an existing factory is exciting—but it also comes with real challenges. A leading plywood manufacturer in India planned to add a new Value-Added Plant to its existing facility. This plant would enhance basic plywood sheets with additional processing and finishing, boosting their product value and revenue.
However, expanding a brownfield facility (an operational site) is significantly more complex than building a new (greenfield) factory. Every element—from power and piping to safety systems—needs to be carefully analyzed to ensure smooth integration. Not every engineering company is up for such a challenge. But PIMA stepped in confidently.
If you want to upgrade your RO plant, you can get automation solutions from PIMA, a trusted expert in water treatment automation. Let’s explore how this plant optimized its operations with smart automation.

The Project: What Was Needed

The manufacturer wanted to:

  • Add new machines to an operational production line
  • Meet enhanced power and hydraulic requirements
  • Ensure compliance with safety standards
  • Do all this without disrupting ongoing operations
PIMA was entrusted with the front-end engineering design of the new setup, focusing on both electrical and mechanical systems.

Our Engineering Approach

Working closely with the facility and maintenance teams, PIMA:

  • Audited the existing infrastructure
  • Identified areas where the current setup could be reused or enhanced
  • Developed cost-effective and time-saving engineering solutions
Here’s how we made it happen:

Key Challenges & How We Solved Them

1. Power Load Optimization

Installing new machinery meant increased power demand. A quick solution would be buying a new transformer—but that’s costly.
Instead, our engineers analyzed the load and found a way to optimize the system using the existing transformer, saving the client from an unnecessary capital expense they had already budgeted for.

2. Smart Piping Strategy

Rather than install a completely new pipeline system, PIMA creatively repurposed existing fluid and steam pipelines with minor modifications—cutting both time and cost significantly.

3. Electrical Integration with Flexibility

We assessed safe connection points for the new machines. Two options were proposed:

  • Use an existing power connection without any changes
  • Modify another circuit that required additional work

The decision was made after a collaborative discussion with all stakeholders, ensuring both safety and efficiency.

4. Safety Upgrades

Safety remained a top priority. The fire hydrant system was extended to the new section of the factory to maintain full coverage across the expanded plant.

PIMA’s Value-Driven Solutions

PIMA delivered front-end engineering design (FEED) that enabled:
  • Efficient and safe power distribution
  • Reuse of existing systems for cost savings
  • Well-structured documentation for smooth execution
  • Strategic planning to minimize downtime

Final Thoughts

Factory expansion doesn’t have to be disruptive or expensive. With the right partner, even complex brownfield upgrades can be handled with precision and minimal stress.
At PIMA, we specialize in smart, practical, and cost-effective engineering—from minor upgrades to major plant expansions.
