Brownfield Construction Projects: Swanag's Expertise in Live-Site Expansions
Brownfield construction is a specialized segment of industrial development where new construction takes place within or alongside an existing, operational facility. Unlike greenfield sites that start on bare land, brownfield construction demands meticulous planning to ensure that ongoing operations remain uninterrupted.
At Swanag, we bring precision, compliance, and efficiency to every brownfield construction project we undertake.
What Makes Brownfield Construction Unique?
The primary challenge in brownfield construction is that the existing factory or facility must remain fully functional during the expansion. This requires:
- Careful site planning and isolation of construction zones
- Noise and dust control
- Safety for both workers and operational staff
Swanag uses barricades—such as metal sheets and green cloth screens—to separate the construction zone from the running facility, ensuring minimal disruption.
Compliance and Safety as Top Priorities
When working in a live-site environment, brownfield construction must comply with strict regulations. Swanag ensures 100% adherence to:
- ESI and PF norms
- Contractor All Risk (CAR) insurance policies
- Workman compensation regulations
Our processes prioritize worker safety, client operational continuity, and regulatory compliance.
Achieving Timely Delivery Without Disruption
One of the key aspects of Swanag’s brownfield construction strategy is delivering projects on schedule while ensuring zero impact on the client’s current operations. Our phased planning model includes:
- Isolated construction timelines
