Processed Food Plant Conversion and System Installation
Project
Converted a former hog plant into a full turkey processing facility in less than seven months, installing 210 motors, 350 control devices, and over 10,000 feet of cable.
- Location
- Ontario
- Sector
- Food & Beverage
From challenge to
completed project
One of Canada’s leading manufacturers of processed food products contracted Spark Power for complete field installation of all process equipment to convert a former hog plant into a new turkey processing facility.
The project carried real complexity: the scope was not expanded when changes arose as the project neared completion, and communication disruptions between the end customer, general contractor, mechanical contractor, and electrical contractor created coordination pressure throughout.
How we
solved it
In less than seven months, Spark Power installed:
- 2,000′ of cable tray
- 3,400′ of PVC conduit
- Over 10,000′ of lapp cable
- 210 motors
- 350 control devices
The metrics
that matter
- Full plant conversion completed in under seven months. Hog plant converted to a turkey processing facility on an aggressive timeline despite scope and communication challenges.
- 210 motors and 350 control devices installed. Comprehensive process equipment installation completed as an integrated scope across the full converted facility.
- Scope and communication challenges navigated without project failure. Late-stage scope changes and multi-party communication disruptions were managed without derailing delivery or quality.
- Strengthened client relationship for future work. Previous success with the client’s pork division led to this engagement; successful execution continued the pattern.
