Any interruptions to water supply or wastewater treatment are bad news – even for a few hours, never mind several days. So when urgent repairs are needed to steelwork structures to allow facilities to continue working safely, every hour is vital.
The standard process that leads to a finally installed steelwork repair has many steps: survey, design, detail, fabricate and install. These steps might involve different organisations working more or less in isolation.
This isn’t a foolproof route to rapid, first time completion. You could, for example, wait two days just for a design that still needs to be manufactured and installed. That’s probably time you don’t have.
There is a better way. One that opens the opportunity to have a steelwork repair scoped, designed, detailed, fabricated, and installed – first time in a single day.
Integrated Working Is Faster
It’s all a question of looking at the process in a fundamentally different way – bringing in expertise early, where it can make the biggest difference and removing project interfaces that clutter up decision making and complicate the project plan.
Emergency repairs are where FTE’s intelligent integration approach really comes into its own. There’s one unified team all dedicated to completing an accurate repair at the first attempt, in the minimum amount of time. We have literally executed steelwork repairs from end-to-end within a single day.
Water Industry Experience
FTE has substantial experience in the water supply and wastewater treatment industry. This includes steel walkway structures, stairs and hand railing as well as supporting structures for buildings, plant, and equipment. We understand the requirements and the regulatory systems in place.
And our rapid emergency response capabilities have been thoroughly road (and rail) tested in the highly demanding transport infrastructure sector.
If you’re looking for a fast and responsive steelwork fabrication solution, it’s worth exploring how intelligent integration works in more detail. You can do this by accessing our information hub.
