Project basis
Feasibility, investment, plant reality and operating constraints are made explicit before commitments are taken.
Engineering [ PROCESS KNOW-HOW ]
Cast House Engineering & Consulting.
Studies, plant design, project leadership, operational analysis, Lean Six Sigma, training, and modernization across the complete aluminum casthouse lifecycle.
02 / Engineering [ Process know-how ]
One accountable team across the casthouse lifecycle.
From feasibility and plant design through operations, Lean Six Sigma and brownfield modernisation — covered by a single engineering team with decades of casthouse process experience.
CETAG carries projects from the first feasibility question to running improvements on the operating floor. Studies, plant concepts, project leadership, operational analysis and trained teams stay connected through one organisation that knows what an aluminium casthouse actually needs.

How it works
From feasibility to producing plant.
Three phases connect the project basis, the feasible plant concept and the live operating reality — with CETAG accountable through all of them.
Feasible plant concept
Layout, equipment, material flow and project execution land as one coherent plant concept — not a stack of disciplines.
Running improvement
Production analysis, Lean Six Sigma methods and trained teams keep the plant performing once the project is handed over.
One partner, end to end
Engineering in-house, execution through a specialist network.
CETAG carries the engineering and project responsibility, and coordinates an established network of specialists for execution. That gives the customer a single point of contact across the whole casthouse lifecycle — from the first study to a running, modernised plant.

What you receive
Four deliverables across the lifecycle.
Engagements differ in size, but the same four work products keep recurring — from a feasibility basis through a modernised brownfield plant.
Discuss consulting scopeDefendable decision basis
Feasibility, investment logic and risk made explicit before the project moves forward.
Buildable plant concept
Layout, equipment placement, material flow and access treated as one operating system.
Improvement on the floor
Production analysis, Lean/Six Sigma methods and training connecting project work with daily operation.
Modernisation path
Retrofit scope, spare-parts contracting and maintenance logic to lift existing plant performance.
Related services
Often combined with engineering.
Engineering rarely runs alone — it usually pulls in fabrication for the hardware, a 3D capture of the existing plant, or a VR review before drawings are frozen.
01 / Fabrication
Fabrication Services
Builds the hardware specified in the engineering scope — steelwork, piping, custom assemblies.
Read more 06 / Capture3D-Scanning
Captures the brownfield basis so retrofit design starts from measured geometry, not assumptions.
Read more 05 / ReviewVirtual Reality
Validates layouts and operator workflows in VR before drawings are frozen and equipment is ordered.
