Food Processing Plant Layout

Project overview

Full factory layout for a new 5,000m² food processing facility. Scope covered raw material intake, processing zones, packaging, dispatch, ancillary services (clean-in-place, refrigeration, utilities) and amenity areas.

The challenge

Designing flow that satisfied HACCP segregation (high-care / low-care / dispatch zones), accommodated equipment from multiple vendors, and allowed safe forklift movement without crossing personnel routes.

Our approach

Produced equipment layout drawings at 1:50 with full clearance envelopes, services connection schedules per equipment item, traffic flow plans for personnel and forklifts, and FSANZ-compliant zoning diagrams. Coordinated with the client's HACCP plan and equipment vendor drawings.

Outcome

Layout approved by food safety auditor on first review. Plant commissioned on schedule with no layout-driven equipment relocations required.
