CASE STUDY
PRECISION PLANNING FOR A MEDIA SUPPLIER’S TURNKEY RACKING SOLUTION
Overview
Location: Orlando, FL
Customer Industry: Wholesale Sign & Media Supplier
SUMMARY
Scope of Work
We provided a comprehensive turnkey solution that included:
Guard Rails for enhanced safety
Installation of Selective Racking Systems
Fire Protection Equipment to meet regulatory compliance
HPS Signs to ensure proper warehouse navigation and safety
Challenges and Solutions
The Challenge:
Managing the project with multiple racking configurations, each requiring specific materials, posed a significant challenge. Additionally, installing bolt-on column protectors on bolt-on frames with ground-level first beams left no space for standard fastening methods.
Our Solution:
Material Organization: To prevent misalignment during installation, each racking bundle was labeled with its corresponding configuration upon delivery, streamlining the process and reducing errors.
On-Site Leadership: A proactive installation kick-off visit allowed us to address nearly 75% of concerns from both the customer and installation crew, setting clear expectations and improving communication.
Creative Problem-Solving: Our team worked with the crew to modify the protectors by drilling additional holes, allowing for secure attachment without compromising the structure.
Outcome
A seamless installation process. Enhanced efficiency and reduced downtime due to meticulous planning and organization.
Strengthened client trust through hands-on project management and proactive problem-solving.
Key Learning
This project highlighted the critical importance of the installation kick-off phase. Being on-site not only facilitated smoother operations but also fostered stronger relationships with the customer and installation crew. By demonstrating leadership early on, we gained their confidence and ensured consistent progress tracking throughout the project.
Why it Matters
This project underscores our ability to manage complex, multi-configuration installations while maintaining high standards of execution. It also serves as a testament to the value of strategic planning and proactive leadership in achieving operational success.
