Foundry engineering - Installation and production start-up

Casting is a field that continues to undergo major changes, strongly impacting engineering through new modes of design and shaping.

The project for setting up a foundry is dealt with here in its entirety, covering both administrative and technical aspects. The approach is progressive and each stage is carefully addressed: choice of site, calculation of production requirements and equipment specifications, starting with those for the mold, the strategic center of the foundry. Specifications must be precise and exhaustive, covering specific machinery, transport equipment, distribution and storage, so as to avoid any misunderstandings with suppliers. For optimum plant start-up, it is advisable to involve maintenance personnel and to plan training periods for operating staff. A ramp-up period will enable you to check that your requirements are fully in line with your planned capacities.

Committing to an environmental approach is not easy in this sector, and the crucial issues remain the fight against soil, water, air and noise pollution. Clearly, taking these issues into account in any new engineering project has far-reaching consequences.
