Geometry and structure
Dimensioned length, width, clear height, columns, floors, pits, platforms and equipment foundation information.
Factory planning for water bottling projects
Readiness must be visible and testable
Use a readiness gate before shipment or technician travel so missing local work is visible early enough to correct.

01
Start with measured facts rather than a floor-area estimate.
Dimensioned length, width, clear height, columns, floors, pits, platforms and equipment foundation information.
Port-to-site route, unloading area, doors, turning space, lifting plan and final positioning route.
Treatment, filling, packing, utilities, storage, QC, maintenance and personnel functions at the agreed stage.
Installed drains, penetrations, supports, curbs, walls and finishes required before positioning or testing.
02
An empty building with power nearby is not automatically ready for commissioning.
Services installed at approved locations with correct isolation, identification and access.
Power, water, air and other required services demonstrated for the agreed test basis.
Approved bottles or preforms, caps, labels, coding supplies, film or cartons and product inputs.
People, instruments, sampling points and records ready for the planned trial.
03
A readiness review ends with named owners and dated open actions.
Project owner, electrician, mechanical support, operators, maintenance and local safety responsibility.
Confirmed travel basis, tools, supervision or labor scope and the conditions for starting work.
Each gap has an owner, due date, impact and closure evidence.
Shipment, travel or commissioning proceeds against the agreed gate, not an informal assurance.
04
Status should represent consequence, not optimism. A green item has accepted evidence for the intended activity; amber has a controlled condition that does not endanger the release; red blocks the affected shipment, travel, installation or test.
| Status | Meaning | Minimum record | Release treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green | Requirement is complete for the defined stage | Dated drawing, photograph, measurement, test or signed check | Proceed while monitoring stated conditions |
| Amber | Limited gap has an owner and safe temporary control | Consequence, action, due date and closure authority | Proceed only when the stage-specific reviewer accepts it |
| Red | Missing or failed item can stop, damage or invalidate the work | Blocking reason and recovery plan | Hold the affected release |
| Unknown | No reliable evidence exists | Required verification and decision consequence | Treat as red when the result is critical |
05
Organize the current layout, equipment route, foundations, room completion, utilities, drains, safe-work controls, storage, test materials, people, permits and open actions so a remote or onsite reviewer can reconstruct the decision.
Dimensioned survey, openings, access, levels, loads and work-front status.
Source, generation, distribution, connection, quality and test results under the relevant stage.
Dated and labeled photographs tied to the layout, equipment or action identifier.
Reviewer, date, scope, conditions, blocked items and next verification point.
Buyer questions
Begin while engineering and site work can still be changed, then repeat before shipment, equipment arrival and commissioning.
Some positioning and assembly may be possible, but the sequence and risks must be agreed. Full functional and product trials need the required services.
Mark them unknown. A visible unknown is safer than an invented answer and can be assigned for confirmation.
