RAE INSTALL 29 METRE SCOREBOARD IN JUST 4 WEEKS...
|
|
Richard Alan Engineering has lived up to its own philosophy of always striving to be the very best single-source engineering service provider, by successfully completing a support steelwork contract on a 4-week rapid response basis for the new 29.21 metre high- definition scoreboard which has just been installed at the Galpharm Stadium , home of Huddersfield Town AFC and Huddersfield Giants RLFC.
“In 2008 the decision was taken to replace our ageing scoreboard with a ‘state of the art’ digital display screen, costing approximately £175,000,” said Philip Armitage, Operations Manager for Kirklees Stadium Development Ltd. “However, in order to mount the screen, a complex support frame was required. We had an extremely short time span in which to design, construct and install both the framework and the screen, as we had to try to complete the work in between Huddersfield Town football and Huddersfield Giants rugby, fixtures. Richard Alan Engineering rose to the challenge and installed the bespoke framework on schedule, which enabled us to install the screen on time.”
“We took a cumulative sharp intake of breath when we were first contacted and asked to undertake the steelwork contract,” said Edward Jennings, Operations Director for Richard Alan Engineering. “However, this sort of contract is what we’re good at, because we’re able to deploy the resources the Richard Alan Group (RAG) effectively and at short notice. After accepting the contract on a 4 week rapid response basis, the new steelwork was detailed, manufactured and painted at our works in Dewsbury; and the dismantling of the old scoreboard and the installation of the new was completed within a 7 -day intense period on site in Huddersfield, by our senior operatives, Wayne Bragan, Andy Clark & Simon Catling. In addition, we were able to employ scaffolding from our Group sister company, Scaffolding Access Solutions, and the skilled services of Wes Johnson and Dave Philp who run SAS. These engineers with their respective operatives pulled out all the stops and proved that being able to offer and control a turnkey project enables Richard Alan to provide customer solutions that are right first time.”
“We had no issues whatsoever with their handling of the contract; they were flexible in their approach to the project and their commitment ensured that the installation schedule was maintained. As a result, I would have no hesitation in using Richard Alan Engineering for future projects,” said Philip Armitage.
Also praising the quality of Richard Alan’s work, were Bob Kronman and Tonie Wishart, who head up Projects and Installations for Display LED Screens Ltd, the company that supplied the screen. They commented that: “The quality and accuracy of the steelwork and the manner in which Richard Alan Engineering and their Group company, Scaffolding Access Solutions Limited, worked with ourselves, was first class; this gives us the confidence to use them on future projects as a chosen partner.” |
