Restructuring intervention with demolition, rebuilding of the systems, redefinition of the interior spaces, finishes.

We had 15 weeks to complete the surgery. 

We have kept the sales point open for the entire period and guaranteed the safety of employees and the usability of evacuation routes previously agreed with the Fire Department.

The restructuring had no repercussions on the sales volume.

Project

  • Subdivision of the intervention into 6 phases and definition of compartmentalized micro- operators ; 
  • detailed definition of the work program, 4-hour slot planning ( Last Planner System );
  • use of pre-assembled elements outside the building site;
  • adequate sizing of the work team.

Execution

  • Project management according to Lean principles;
  • continuous exchange of information between the various people involved in the project;
  • constant verification of compliance with the time schedule and consequent corrective updating;
  • critical activities carried out during the night.

Result

  • Intervention completed in 12 weeks;
  • no decrease in store sales;
  • commercial and functional optimization of the building;
  • increase in the useful life of the point of sale.

Old air conditioning systems and air treatment ducts at the top of the building constituted the system that was completely replaced to optimize climate comfort inside the building.

In the demolition phase, to create the new opening, unexpectedly we came across the vertical line of the sprinklers: the customer requested the displacement of the sprinkler line for the entire height of 8 floors.

Accessibility to the main staircases and elevator was guaranteed for the entire period of the intervention. Access to micro - sites by assigned workers was guaranteed by the use of a secondary staircase.
