The shape of things to come…
The past 12 months have seen a significant increase in productivity and professional service at R&H Engineering.
Our growth spurt started with our move to our spacious new fabricating plant at Highbrook, which gave us the capacity to take on larger scale work. Importantly, apart from increased floorspace, this new venue expanded our inward and outward goods handling, and enabled us to take on assembly work for Glidepath, whereby we assembled 30 truckloads of baggage conveyors over 3 months (we installed them on location too)!
The move was also impetus for us to secure ISO 9001 accreditation (which has just been renewed for another 12 months). And now it’s time to significantly upgrade our plant.
The first piece of new equipment arrived last month. It’s a new heavy duty folding machine which will significantly increase the scope and quantity of work we can handle.
Previously we could fold one metre of 6 mm plate – anything larger had to be jobbed out. But the extra bed length on our new machine enables us to do longer folds, which is ideal for items such as flashings and façade work. Given the greater V-block distances, coupled with the tonnage to fold entire sheets, we can take on a much broader spectrum of work, including third party work for other engineering firms.
Right now we’re in the process of leveling and calibrating the machine, and training staff on the safe operating procedures. We expect to it to be operational early in the new year, at which time we’ll be looking for a new home for our existing press, which has served us admirably for the past 10 years. If you’re interested in acquiring this, please give me a call at the numbers below.
R&H Engineering are general engineers with substantial capacity and the ability to design and produce engineering projects on time and budget.
