Works without stopping operations
A shop, a hotel or a factory that closes for building works loses sales and customers. Much steel work can be done with the business open if it is planned that way from the start. This guide sums up how we do it.
The heavy work, at the plant
The main rule is that as little as possible is done on the premises. Cutting, welding and painting are done in our plant, and finished parts reach the site ready to fit. So near the customers there are no sparks for hours, no smell of paint and no cutting noise.
Measure what is there
Before designing, we take the measurements on site with digital equipment. In a building in use there is no room to improvise: every part has to reach its place without long adjustments, and that is only possible if the 3D model starts from what is built.
Hours and zones
The work is split into zones and scheduled at the hours the business chooses, for example early or on the quietest days. While one zone is worked on, the rest keeps running, and the zone is left tidy before the customers come back.
A real case
At Marlin Shopping, in Verón, we reinforced the store’s structure without stopping its operation: we fabricated the reinforcement parts in our plant and fitted them with the store open. In hotels and restaurants we make façades, roofs, pergolas and decorative pieces the same way, without stopping operations.
What to prepare
To plan, tell us the business hours, the quietest hours and days, where the parts can come in and which areas cannot be touched. With that we propose the order of work together with the quote.
After the works
When we finish, every piece is left with its QR-code plate and its history. With a maintenance plan, inspections are scheduled on a calendar, and they can also be agreed at the hours that affect the business least.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to close to reinforce a structure?
At Marlin Shopping there was no need: we reinforced with the store open, without stopping its operation.
Do you work in hotels that stay open?
Yes. We make façades, roofs, pergolas and decorative pieces for hotels and restaurants without stopping operations.
How do you know everything will fit?
We measure on site with digital equipment and design in 3D before we fabricate.
