“We brought Tandem on board to solve an environmental and housekeeping issue that consumed a large amount of energy with high maintenance costs. We were moving 600-degree Fahrenheit sand up a vertical steel pipe using a 100 HP blower. Tandem did all the leg work, engineering studies and presented us with several options within budget and with proposed ROI. They even secured an energy saving incentive to help pay for the project. Josh Lewis and his team oversaw the installation of the project and ensured a flawless launch, on time and within budget. In all my years’ experience in the Auto sector this Tandem project was a grand slam home run!”
- Mario Ricci, Facility Engineering Manager, Nemak Windsor Aluminum Plant
“I can honestly say that the work that your team has done to reinforce the existing steel structures in our workshop has been invaluable. The execution and speed of service have exceeded our expectations and we have now reached a capacity of the steel structures that enables most of the planned equipment installations to take place. When we first faced the issues with the capacity of the steel structures we could not make other steel designers take ownership of the existing structures, but you took on this task. Previously suggested solutions for reinforcement from other companies would have delayed us tremendously and would have caused us severe financial impact.
You have done a fantastic job in a short time, you should be proud of that!”
- Anders Hagman, Area Engineer Powertrain & Chassie, Volvo Car USA LLC
A selection of current and recently completed projects:
Body Shop, PAINT SHOP & General Assembly Process Equipment Installation and Facility Coordination
Plant layout and launch assistance, including bid package development, scheduling, contract administration, engineering and facility co-ordination for multiple auto manufacturing facilities in the US Midwest and Canada.
We deliver the services needed to launch new vehicles on-time and on-budget.
Energy Evaluation, Cost Deployment, Studies, and Retrofits
Energy usage is a large cost driver in plants, that may get out of control without proper attention. Tandem Engineering conducts energy usage evaluations, cost deployment, opportunity studies and retrofits at a number of manufacturing facilities.
We help our clients lower their utility costs to sustainable levels.
Building Facilities Design Support
Tandem's Building Group is working closely with our major automotive clients in the design, bid package development and construction follow-up of demolition and new facilities. Work includes structural renovations of production space, truss analysis, reinforcing for new conveyors and process loads, roof-top enclosures for carrier returns, floor preparation for new equipment, truck dock upgrades and vehicle quality audit space enhancements.
HVAC DESIGN AND CONTROL SYSTEM UPGRADES
Heating, air conditioning, and exhaust are major cost drivers in large plants. We design and implement sophisticated plans and central control system upgrades to make facilities more efficient, and maintain a clean atmosphere to protect employee health.
Conveyor Design and Project Management
The efficient movement of material within manufacturing facilities is critical to optimizing production and minimizing wasted space and in-process inventory. Tandem works with our clients to design new and modify existing conveyance systems to suit their needs.
SAFETY UPGRADES
Safety is always a top priority in plants. We provide services to proactively identify and fix safety issues, including mechanical guarding, electrical interlocking, and advanced zone control.
