Challenge or Problem:

On a recent Lightrail project, the contractor faced severe quality issues with the plinth surface, with over 7000 fasteners observed to have gaps exceeding the manufacturer and contract requirements. The gaps were typically between 2-4 mm, leading to non-compliance with the specified tolerances.

Objectives:

• Inspect and document all plinth fasteners along the 8-mile stretch.
• Develop and implement a repair procedure without delaying project completion.
• Achieve substantial cost savings compared to removing and replacing all the fasteners.

Solution:

Explain the services, products, or solutions you provided to address the client’s challenges.

Process and Implementation:

A1MI developed a robust procedure to inspect and document the plinth fasteners. The team researched multiple products, developed presentations, and collaborated with the owner and engineer to get the repair plan approved.

Results and Impact:

The contractor successfully repaired all the plinth surfaces without delaying the project completion, achieving substantial cost savings.
