Phased Expansion of Existing Facilities
Grow your capacity in stages - masterplans that keep the line running and the next phase ready.
We design expansion programmes that unfold across multiple phases - each stage operational on its own, each stage built while the previous stage continues producing.
Phased expansion is not about postponing decisions. It is about committing to a masterplan that sizes the structural grid, utility corridors and site logistics for the full envisioned capacity, then executing it in stages aligned with the client’s capex cycle.
What we deliver
Masterplan development and capacity analysis. Phased construction documentation with sequencing diagrams, temporary-works strategy and hand-over plans between stages. Integration with existing structures, logistics and personnel flows. Biosafety and hygienic continuity plans for each construction stage.
Why it matters
A single-shot mega-build commits capex before demand is confirmed. A masterplanned phased expansion lets the client size each stage against real demand, draw on subsidies and export-readiness programmes stage by stage, and avoid the biological and operational risk of a full-facility shutdown.
Representative cases
- RAS Belsvik - Phase 2 post-smolt added to an operating RAS hatchery, with new viewing corridor and expanded water treatment.
- TINE Verdal - phased dairy expansion across multiple production lines, guided by a continuously updated masterplan.
- TINE Dovre - successive expansions of an active dairy plant across reception, whey drying, cheese and storage.
Documented experience
Multi-phase expansion programmes across aquaculture, dairy and food production - with masterplans spanning a decade or more and stages delivered while existing operations continued.
