The Navigator Company, a leading company in the international pulp and paper market from Portugal, has selected AFRY to conduct a comprehensive asset integrity assessment for its Setubal, Aveiro, and Figueira pulp mills. The assignment's key objective is to provide an independent second opinion on reinvestment needs and priorities, guiding the company's annual budgeting and capital expenditure decisions.
AFRY's scope includes assessing all assets at the three mill sites based on their age and condition, operational reliability, and supplier support. The evaluation will result in a detailed 15-year investment plan highlighting critical investments, clearly outlining necessary repairs and replacements to maintain ongoing production.
"The purpose of the project is to bring together the knowledge and experience of AFRY and the experts of The Navigator Company to create a plan to support Asset Management initiatives at all Pulp, Energy and utilities areas of our sites in Setubal, Figueira and Aveiro mills, and to assist detailed long-term investment and maintenance planning. The project team shows an enthusiastic and professional attitude which is part of the factors to achieve successful results", says Antonio Sequeira, Head of Capex, The Navigator Company.
AFRY provides engineering, design, digital and advisory services.
