Jabil
Done and Delivered. On Time
Jabil is an American electronics manufacturing multinational with more than 140,000 employees in over 25 countries. They produce over 300 of the biggest brands in the world in every market from healthcare, clean energy, automotive, defence, aerospace, telecommunications and to packaging and smartphones.
Jabil wanted to set up a light engineering and assembly plant for manufacturing Nacelle, an aircraft component. They needed a 75,000 square feet facility in Chakan, Pune. Jabil approached KSH INFRA for space in KSH Chakan Park I, considering that the park was a completely constructed facility.
CHALLENGES
While KSH INFRA facility was ready-to-use, it needed significant customisations and alterations to suit Jabil’s manufacturing and assembly requirements, such as
- A 100-tonne crane housed within the facility
- Loading pits for raw material
- Loading pits for finished products
- Availability of 6000 square feet of plug-and-play office space, canteen, locker rooms, and toilets
- 1000 KVA electrical infrastructure
- Redesigning fire protection system based on FM Global Standards
KSH INFRA had a period of 90 days to prepare the space for Jabil, ensuring it was fully functional to obtain approvals and commence manufacturing and assembly.
SOLUTION
The KSH INFRA team utilized their in-house expertise to successfully execute the customization plan. This is how we did it:
Installation of a 100-tonne gantry crane transported on rails: A temporary foundation were made outside the facility to install and transport the crane.
The existing shopfloor was reengineered and reinforced: This allowed the crane to move 100 metres within the facility.
Jabil was provided with a ground-plus first-floor office block. This included the following facilities:
- Reception
- Canteen
- Locker rooms
- Toilet blocks
- Work stations
- Conference room
- Additional cloakrooms
Enhanced fire and safety standards to meet Jabil's approval requirements.
- The existing sprinklers were upgraded to FM-approved sprinklers.
- A 1000 KVA substation was installed with the required approvals from MSEDCL.
Installing 300-lux LED lighting for efficient long-term energy use.
