Chocolate & Noodle Manufacturing Facility

Opportunity

Nestlé India undertook a significant expansion project at their operational site in Sanand, Gujarat, adding two new process buildings—a noodle production line and a chocolate processing line—within the same campus. To support this, the client required robust drafting services to manage and control a high volume of evolving design drawings in a fast-paced, live production environment. The complexity of the expansion—executed adjacent to a running plant—posed challenges in maintaining up-to-date drawings, resolving interdisciplinary clashes, and aligning vendor inputs with site realities. The client needed dedicated, on-site drafting expertise to ensure design integrity, minimize rework, and keep construction aligned with the approved Good For Construction (GFC) drawings.

Solution

PMG Engineering deployed a full-time draftsman on site to provide real-time drafting support throughout the project. The draftsman worked closely with the client’s engineering team, consultants, and contractors to maintain and update the master set of drawings, ensuring accuracy and alignment with ongoing site progress. This included incorporating vendor inputs, resolving discrepancies between disciplines, and producing revised GFC drawings as required by site conditions or design changes. The draftsman’s presence enabled immediate updates, quick resolution of design issues, and ensured that construction teams always worked with the most current and accurate drawings—critical in such a multi-scope and time-sensitive project.

Outcome

PMG’s dedicated drafting services ensured uninterrupted progress of the project by providing up-to-date, coordinated drawings at every stage. This reduced execution delays, avoided costly rework, and maintained clarity for all stakeholders working on site. The seamless integration of drafting support allowed the client to meet aggressive timelines while ensuring that both new buildings were constructed in alignment with the design intent and integrated effectively with the existing plant infrastructure.
