Construction in an Operational Facility – How Is It Possible?

Modernisation or reconstruction in an active facility naturally raises concerns: downtime, disruption, and the comfort and safety of users.
However, based on Imago Group’s experience, we know that with proper work organisation, it is possible to carry out an investment project without taking the facility out of operation — quickly, safely, and with the quality that is our hallmark.

Why Is It Worth It?

– No operational downtime – the facility continues to earn revenue and serve clients.
– Shorter overall investment time – no “technological breaks” required to close the facility.
– Cost control – precise work schedules and prefabrication limit unexpected expenses.

Micro-Scale Planning (Hourly Schedule)

We create daily and hourly schedules synchronized with the facility’s operating rhythm (shifts, duty cycles, peak hours).
Work is divided into micro-stages and zones, allowing construction to proceed in one area while the rest of the building continues to operate normally.

Communication That Reduces Risk

– Proactive communication (notice boards, mailing, internal notifications).
– A single decision-making path – the investor maintains direct contact with the project manager and HSE coordinator.
– Maps showing temporary room closures + alternative circulation routes.

Safety Above All (HSE)

We designate work zones, implement separations, and ensure clear signage.
Each stage is preceded by risk analysis and preventive planning.
Standard practice includes performing work during low-activity periods (nights/weekends), noise and dust control, use of anti-slip mats, protective curtains, material airlocks, and frequent cleaning of work sections.

Logistics and Worksite Cleanliness

We organize material deliveries and removals in time windows (outside peak hours).
We use Big-Bag sacks, sealed containers, service routes, and spill mats.
We maintain continuous order — a key to safety and minimizing inconvenience.

Trade Coordination and BIM Light

Before entering the site, we coordinate clashes between disciplines.
We use simplified BIM/3D coordination to limit exploratory work and shorten execution windows for contractors.

Quality Control “in Real Time”

Short-cycle partial inspections (QA/QC checklists) identify irregularities immediately — before work proceeds to subsequent layers (e.g. finishes), preventing delays.

What Does This Mean for the Investor?

– Operational continuity without loss of revenue.
– Faster return on investment thanks to reduced real interference time.
– Peace of mind: one partner responsible for the plan, safety, and results.
