- Identification and isolation of live services
The solution:
- Detailed and well-planned pre-construction period to ensure all materials/contractors available

The Effort Collaboration and Teamwork exhibited was exceptional and has delivered a transformation in facilities which has been very well received by the end users in Filton Plant.
The less visible but essential maintenance activities and upgrades will help the business to deliver its production targets for the coming year and into the future.
