Preparing for Growth: Scan Engineering’s Shift to a Larger Manufacturing Facility

As demand continues to rise across our core industries, Scan Engineering is preparing to take a major step forward shifting operations to a larger, purpose-built manufacturing facility. This expansion is not just about more space; it’s about increasing capacity, improving efficiency, and setting up a plant layout that can handle the next decade of real industrial growth.

In this post, we’ll walk through five key areas we’re focusing on in this transition.

1. Increased Fabrication & Machining Capacity

The new facility gives us the floor space to manage larger structures, heavier skids, and high-volume part machining with ease. We’re adding clearance for overhead cranes, improved machine positioning, and more efficient material flow across bays.

2. Dedicated Zones for Industry-Specific Services

Unlike our current shop, the new space will allow us to set up segregated zones for:

• Marine repair and piping bays

• Power transmission hardware

• Printing industry part restoration

• Oilfield welding, skid building, and machining

This reduces clutter and improves process control for every sector we serve.

3. Improved Inspection and Quality Control Areas

We’re introducing isolated inspection areas with granite tables, digital metrology tools, and part tagging systems to ensure QA isn’t an afterthought it’s a daily priority. Better layout = cleaner handovers.

4. Streamlined Storage and Dispatch

With more built-in space for raw material racking, staging zones, and finished part storage, we’re improving both our internal inventory control and external dispatch readiness. This especially benefits clients relying on urgent deliveries and port-side services.

5. Future Proofing for Additional Machines and Digital Workflows

As we move forward, we’re keeping room for additional CNCs, automation setups, and digital inventory terminals. This layout has been designed not just for today’s production, but to absorb tomorrow’s demands without disruption.

This new facility marks a turning point in how we scale.

For our clients, it means faster turnarounds, better quality, and more structured operations. For us, it’s about proving that growth and discipline can go hand-in-hand without changing who we are or how we work.
