Chantier in this case could simply be a depot.

neutral David Goward : "smooth running" should not be hyphenated, IMO, and a "chantier" is not necessarily a "*building* site"

neutral writeaway : if it's a building site. 100% confidence leaves no room for doubt but how can one be 100% sure?
50 mins
neutral Bourth (X) : As D.G. says, "chantier" here does not mean "site".

neutral Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) : do you think this is a building site?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you very much and thank you too all - 3 answers were very close. I had not provided additional context before you answered, but as you saw later it was clear that it meant the "smooth running of a work site" chantier de l'intervention de nettoyage et démantèlement dans une usine"

true - but out of context the best one can offer is an educated guess
neutral Bourth (X) : Don't like "site" here - though the more I think about it, the more I think it COULD be said, however unnatural it sounds to MY ears.

smooth running of the works

Equipment required for the (decommissioning/decontamination) works to proceed smoothly/troublefree/without holdups/without difficulties.

In its primary sense a "chantier" is indeed a work site, but by extension it refers to the work (works) carried out on that site.
