Installation

Safe installation is always part of our total delivery

We provide installation services as a part of the total delivery of your project. We ensure that structures and materials are delivered to the job construction site on time, in the correct order, and properly prepared for safe installation. Compared to tendering the installation contract separately, cooperation with us saves time and enhances the workflow and quality.

We begin to plan a safe installation from the early design phase of the project

When we design and manufacture the frame, facade, or bridge structures, a safe installation is a crucial part of the final delivery. We plan our solutions in a way that they are safe to install. In the design phase, we optimize things such as lifting the elements safely and guaranteeing the stability and support of the structures during on-site work. We always design these on a site-by-site basis.

Design of installation includes:

  • Developing and planning the installation method together with the project team
  • Equipping structures with attachment points for lifting and launching
  • Defining support equipment for anchor points
  • Making necessary calculations
  • Making plans for temporary bracing

BUILDING SOLUTIONS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Smart installation schedules – the Nordec project model

At Nordec, project managers take care of both the production and installation schedules. They make sure that the different parts of the project are scheduled smartly. When we optimize the schedule for the whole project – not only in the installation part – there is no conflict of interest between teams. And if there are delays, we can identify those quickly and adjust the upcoming work phases accordingly. As we assign you a dedicated project manager, communication is easy, and you always know whom to contact.

We at Nordec aspire for zero accidents. Therefore, we design all our solutions and products in a way that they are safe to install.

The benefits of Nordec’s installation services

1) Experienced site managers and installation crews

Our site managers work hand in hand with our project management teams. Open daily communication ensures that the whole team knows what the overall situation of the project is. Schedule management is a key focus in the weekly meetings of the project team.

2) Latest project management software

We use the latest project management software for all our projects. As a result, everyone in the team has access to the project’s overall view and details.

3) Integrated processes

All our processes from design to fabrication and installation are integrated. It speeds up the construction process and reduces related costs. It also makes it easier to forecast possible delays and react well ahead.

Frame Installation

At Nordec, we mainly use bolted joints in frame installation to minimize welding on site. Depending on the site we use a mobile crane, a tower crane, or a crawler crane for the installation. We prefer cranes because they are the most efficient and safe way to manage the frame installation based on our experience.

The schedule of the frame installation usually depends heavily on the general schedule of the project. That’s why we present our view on frame installation already in the tendering phase. In addition, we pay attention to storage areas and lifting points on-site because these affect the size of the crane required, and finally the costs of the frame installation.

Envelope Installation

In envelope installation we focus on securing airtight facade solutions. With great attention to detail and careful work during the installation, it is possible to improve the airtightness of a facade. The quality of envelope installation affects the life cycle operating costs of the building.

For envelope installation, we choose the machinery based on the building type.

Bridge Installation

We have extensive experience in safe bridge installation. The typical bridge installation method is launching (either from one side or from both sides). Another bridge installation method is lifting the bridge in elements and sections or as one structure. Either way, our installation teams work efficiently. We will help you define the best bridge installation method for your project.
