How TEP Machinery has Partnered with Sika Ltd
For more than ten years, TEP Machinery has supported Sika North (previously Everbuild), offering machinery relocation, installation, and logistics services. Through numerous shared projects, our collaboration has grown from one-off moves into a trusted long-term partnership – delivering reliability, safety, and expertise whenever Sika has needed us.
Over the years, our work with Sika has covered a broad spectrum of machinery movement services:
-
Full Installation & Relocation Projects — From dismantling and decommissioning, through transit, to reinstallation.
-
Heavy Lift & Rigging — Ensuring large and delicate equipment is handled safely.
-
Site-to-Site Transfers — Internal relocations within Sika’s network when plants are upgraded or reconfigured.
-
Urgent/Reactive Services — Support when unplanned downtime or emergency works require rapid, safe action.
Key Moments Of Support
Throughout the years, we've completed many projects for the team at Sika Limited.
Safe Equipment Removal
On several occasions, we've extracted large machinery from Sika facilities, including motors, presses, mixers, and ancillary plant equipment. Our teams have followed site safety protocols, utilising our fleet and specialist lifting gear, and ensured minimal disturbance to ongoing operations.
Transport and Transit
After decommissioning, we've managed to secure loading, transport, and delivery of these machines and equipment to new locations – whether other Sika sites, refurbishing facilities, or third-party contractors. Our transport planning includes route assessment, load securing, and regulatory compliance.
Installation and Commissioning Support
Our team supervises ingress, alignment, reassembly, and connection (both mechanical and electrical) to get the equipment back into full production. Sika has relied on our experienced operators and riggers to ensure precision and help avoid delays.
Flexible and Scalable Response
Over the past decade, the scale of moves has varied – from single machine relocations to major line movements. Or even supporting their routine maintenance. In each case, we've tailored our team and equipment to match the task, responding to emergency call outs and planning with precision.
Minimising Downtime
Optimising planning and execution with full and detailed RAMS ensures that the focus of each job is to minimise downtime or to minimise interference with ongoing operations. Clear and concise communication, with detailed project scheduling is what Sika can rely on us for – plus having experienced team members who can anticipate challenges.
Looking Ahead
As Sika continues to invest, grow, and modernise, we are ready to support the next decade of movements, machinery upgrades, and logistical challenging installations. Our ambition is always to raise the standard, anticipate our customers needs, and ensure that we support safely, efficiently, and securely.
