Hatch has the combination of technical and project delivery capabilities to design and execute a full gigafactory project scope, including the production process and balance-of-plant, all while respecting our clients’ proprietary design aspects. This enables us to leverage synergies that exist between the core process and supporting facilities, and to reduce project costs and schedule while maintaining or improving quality.
Gigafactory construction is typically comprised of a multitude of packages, services, and stakeholders. Each stakeholder imposes their own strategy and methodology for construction, commissioning, and start-up, typically leading to inconsistencies and inefficiencies that can have a negative impact on project cost and schedule.
As a leader in process technology, Hatch tailors approaches to manage the integration of activities so there is one consistent execution strategy: A strategy that improves cost and schedule and leads to better quality and safety outcomes.
In addition, our approach employs a multitude of emission-conscious power planning and installation strategies that consider both renewable and conventional power supply options. This includes renewable power integration studies and load management evaluations to actively manage potential emissions as well as utility tariffs when in operation.
Hatch is committed to the long-term success of your business, beyond the facility itself. With comprehensive global offering, holistic knowledge, and capability across the entire battery value chain, Hatch provides insightful support from conceptual engineering to the timely delivery into sustainable operations.
