Challenges & Mitigations

Challenge

Live Industrial Environment

The works were completed within an operational energy recovery facility, where industrial processes and critical infrastructure remained active throughout the project.

‍

Mitigation

Works were delivered through a phased programme, with close coordination alongside site management and health and safety teams to maintain safe working practices and minimise disruption.

Challenge

High-Risk Areas

The installation of an FD240-rated steel double door set required a high level of precision due to the enhanced fire-resistance requirements within the affected area.

Mitigation

Experienced installation teams followed tested specifications and BM TRADA-compliant methods to ensure the door set achieved the required level of performance.
