Successful turnaround at Evonik in Marl with AMTRA as a reliable partner

At the Marl Chemical Park, Evonik was faced with the challenge of carrying out a complex and time-critical turnaround (scheduled shutdown and overhaul phase). Such projects require perfect logistics, the highest safety standards and the smooth integration of hundreds of external fitters and technicians. The on-site infrastructure had to be created quickly, efficiently and without disrupting ongoing operations in other parts of the plant.

Our mobile room solution as a partner for industrial audits and infrastructure projects

AMTRA was engaged as a specialized partner for the provision of the temporary infrastructure. The portfolio included the planning, delivery and installation of customized mobile space solutions that served as offices, workshops, storage, break rooms and sanitary facilities. AMTRA’s close coordination and many years of experience in chemical parks made them the ideal partner for this high-security project.

The specific advantages of our AMTRA mobile rooms in use at Evonik:

1. maximum security and compliance:

Explosion protection (explosion protection): Specially designed mobile rooms that met the strict explosion protection guidelines were used in sensitive areas of the chemical park. This minimized the risk and was a basic prerequisite for the approval of the work areas.
Resilience and stability: The robust container units ensured stable and reliable accommodation even in adverse weather conditions, which helped to prevent accidents.
Orderly working environment: Clear separation of functional areas (e.g. clean offices) minimized hazards and enabled a safe work flow.

2. smooth assembly and dismantling under time pressure:

Modular and flexible system: The AMTRA mobile rooms were delivered as prefabricated units and could be assembled quickly and precisely on site. This “plug-and-play” solution saved valuable time during the critical set-up phase of the turnaround.
Logistical expertise: AMTRA coordinated the delivery and placement of the units in such a way that ongoing plant traffic was not affected. The precise schedule played a key role in ensuring that the overhaul work could begin on time.
Rapid dismantling: Once the work was complete, the units were dismantled and removed just as efficiently, speeding up the resumption of normal operations.

3. added value for the industrial partner Evonik:

Increase in productivity: By providing fully equipped functional rooms directly at the work site, long distances for employees were avoided. Staff always had tools, plans and meeting facilities close at hand, which reduced inefficient waiting times.
Process optimization: AMTRA acted as a “problem solver” for the infrastructure. Evonik was able to concentrate fully on the nuclear overhaul work, while the entire periphery (accommodation, supply) was reliably managed by AMTRA as a partner.
Cost efficiency: The avoidance of expensive, fixed construction measures and the short set-up time led to significant cost savings. The rental solution is also the ideal business solution for a temporary project.

Original sound Evonik

The turnaround at Evonik in Marl underscores AMTRA’s role as more than just a mobile space rental company. AMTRA is a reliable partner for industrial overhauls and infrastructure projects, whose expertise contributes significantly to the smooth, safe and timely success of the project. The AMTRA mobile rooms turned out to be a decisive enabler that impressed Evonik with its safety, maximum flexibility and clear added value in terms of productivity and efficiency.
