Poor installation practices during the erection phase will inevitably impact on the capability of the installation to safely support design working loads (SWLs). Further, poor installation practices can lead to unsafe situations where collapses may occur during installation.
Reduced SWL capacity associated with poor installation practices will lead to a compromise on the safe use of the installation and in extreme cases racking collapse after loading.
BMH has on several occasions observed the difficulty incurred by installation teams to repair a poorly built system – not to mention the costs, loss in productivity, and potentially hazardous situations which result.
BMH places extreme emphasis on ensuring an installation is to standard prior to loading and issuing of an Engineer’s Certificate to protect all parties and ensure a properly working, safe system.
