Onsite stainless steel maintenance contracts — cleaning, polishing and electropolishing — are available for an eclectic range of applications. The key aspects of site works and services lie in preparation, organisation, documentation and communication from start to finish, ensuring that all levels of the workforce and site representation understand both the requirements and the methods in which the controlled procedures are to be carried out.
The fundamentals of site work
The key aspects and fundamentals to site works and services lie in the preparation, organisation, documentation and communication from start to finish.
The preparation
Crucial if any project is to be deemed a success is methodical preparation and planning. That is why in all instances the first step of any potential contract is for an Anokap principal consultant to visit the site and make a full appraisal of every aspect, condition and possibility, before returning and drafting a detailed, informative proposal based on first-hand knowledge.
Goals & objectives
This combination makes our operation both lean and efficient in areas which set us apart from others, providing the requirements of each individual project to the full specification, on time and within budget. Each project is tailored to the requirements under legislative policy, adapted to meet the challenge of achieving the demand in a safe manner, minimising the impact to the environment.
The staff
Through our own directly experienced, dedicated key members and the network of partners and associates we can call upon high-calibre resources at will. The principal staff in all our cooperations carry a vast array of site experience and a mature outlook to the specific requirements and tasks in hand. Attention to detail is of the highest priority, especially when considering Health and Safety, not only to comply with legislation but to take care of each other’s welfare in what is often very difficult conditions.
Site crews are briefed from Anokap’s electropolishing health-and-safety training: PPE for processing versus chemical transfer, MSDS sign-off, a walk-through method statement, and equipment precautions around splashes, leaks and DC power. The training page summarises that briefing.
Certification
The initial proposal, procedures, work instructions and method statements continuously refer to checkpoints, monitoring operations, milestones and sign-offs which are second nature to the key appointed officers in charge and their leading hands. In a legible formulated format and depending on the complexity of the project, control documentation is recorded, completed and passed off by seniors at every stage which comes to form the core of the handover certificates of compliance on completion. Copies of these records are maintained in the archives for a minimum of 2 years and electronic soft copies held indefinitely.
The future
Many years ago, it was demonstrated by airlines that clean surfaces are efficient and reduce operating cost. This can be said for almost any industrial sector. Following works of either consultation or full turn-key management cleaning packages, at the client’s request, Anokap Solutions will go that step further in service to investigate how to optimise the full potential of the surface topography to its specific application.
Classroom and site training — procedures, manuals, and practical instruction — can be written into the same contract.
