Plant Site Logistics

Comprehensive Services 

Clients count on PLG to provide comprehensive plant site logistics design and planning for all modes of transportation.  

Design + Functionality

At the site-specific level, we bring best-in-class design standards and concepts for new facilities, expanding facilities, or legacy facilities requiring new modal or carrier access.  Going beyond just design, our experts also leverage PLG's service provider negotiations expertise as well as our operational expertise to ensure optimal functionality and cost efficiency of the logistics infrastructure.

Creating Competitive Access

PLG team members are also well versed in the commercial, engineering, and operational aspects of "build-out" projects designed to create competitive rail access at otherwise "captive" industries.  We have planned new corridor designs and operations for this purpose, as well as performed cost/benefit analyses for investments designed to achieve modal and/or carrier competition at client locations.

Process & Materials Flow Optimization

PLG has also handled multiple engagements designed to optimize the flow of materials throughout manufacturing facilities, including plant switching optimization, product storage, truck loading/unloading, and material handling and packaging systems evaluation and design projects at client locations throughout the world.  Our operations expertise combines with our world-class design capabilities to maximize infrastructure productivity.
