The key to the optimum solution

The key to the optimum workshop and/or warehouse solution is to ensure that the client’s requirements are signalled at an early stage in the process. A clear layout, well defined building interfaces and of course equipment specifications mean more efficient building, purchasing and realization later on. In essence, the earlier we start, the greater the ultimate gain by ensuring that the desired operational maintenance and/or storage philosophies are fully realized.

Gemco International is a specialist in the consultancy and design of maintenance workshops and warehouses, a project-oriented organization with engineering expertise and experience to successfully carry out turnkey projects. And, of course, with the professionals, expertise and experience to handle larger, integrated projects that require good communication and flexibility to adapt to wishes and needs of our partners. Our track record includes consultancy for and execution of various projects for global contractors and international organizations in more than 45 countries worldwide.

OUR SERVICES

From initial study to after-sales support.

 
Studies

When an initial plan for a workshop and/or warehouse is needed, Gemco International can perform a FEED study. FEED, short for Front-End Engineering & Design, means a solid base for your project. During this stage Gemco International can, based on the operation & maintenance philosophy, generate an ‘equipment specifications’ document, containing functional specifications, technical documentation, equipment and workflow layouts and initial building interface design.

Design

During the design phase, Gemco International can undertake a consultancy study to generate deliverables such as a ‘detailed supply specifications’ document that comprises equipment selection and configuration, full building interface design and detailed layout design. Once the specifications have been agreed, based on the country-, product- and project standards, a scope of work can be compiled. A detailed design gives the client a head start in realizing the project.

Throughout the successive stages of the project Gemco International will be responsible for the overall project management including the detailed design, supply and the on-site supervision of installation and commissioning.
In the supply and execution phase of a project the workshop design will be verified and optimized with final procured product information. This includes layout design, considering material workflow, safety, servicing, utility, foundation and other relevant design information. Installation materials & lubrication will be selected based on final interfacing and compliance for the project to ensure ready for use equipment will be provided.
Buying all the equipment for a workshop and/or a warehouse may involve hundreds of suppliers and thousands of items. Thanks to our extensive and worldwide network of suppliers, we are able to purchase the right equipment for a competitive price and fully project compliant. Equally important is the technical documentation of the equipment that will be produced, handled and supplied as part of the overall project responsibility. Correct documentation is necessary for a successful project execution.
Strict quality control procedures ensure that the equipment is suited to project requirements and local conditions. During an inspection the equipment will be checked on compliance with the detailed specifications and purchase order requirements. In addition items are checked for damages, general appearance and good workmanship.
Supplying all the equipment for a workshop and/or a warehouse is a very complex logistical process that may involve hundreds of suppliers and thousands of items which requires extensive expediting. Depending on the type of equipment, the type of project, country- and client requirements, the items are packed and shipped directly from the manufacturers, and if required to the project site, or are first consolidated in our own warehouse in the Netherlands or at other hubs and packed and shipped from there.
Gemco International will be responsible for the overall project management including the on-site installation and commissioning, and the client has the benefit of a single point of contact coordinating this. Experts from Gemco International will be safely coordinating unloading of all containers and packages, unpacking, supervising installation, pre-testing of the equipment and perform handover and commissioning together, where needed, with specialized OEM’s. If required we will organize all supporting trades, plant and tooling to realize this. At the end of the installation process, all the equipment will be handed over to our clients and end-users satisfaction and according to hand-over procedures.
Gemco International provides proper training for designated operators as well as assistance with the design and implementation of maintenance systems, schedules and procedures. This training could be designed for a selection of machinery and equipment and adapted to the skill-set of the operators. Based on our experience in previous projects, Gemco International can advise you on setting up regulations for maintenance. So we do not only provide a complete and working warehouse and/or workshop, but also make sure it will stay that way for many years to come.
Our international network enables us to provide after sales services that encompass guarantees on the upkeep and repair of the equipment and the rapid replacement of spare parts. Gemco International can rely on fully qualified engineers with extensive experience of working with various types of equipment. Designated engineers are able to calculate step-by-step preventive and corrective maintenance schedules. The availability of consumables and spare parts is guaranteed through agreements with equipment manufacturers. Gemco International makes use of local offices, partnerships and agents to provide all the necessary services, which include after sales for equipment and tools as well as local client service points. Our global network of suppliers and manufacturers means that the client has direct access to extended after sales services (spare parts and expertise).
