Production Facilities
Engineering support relating to the performance, materials and protection of production plant and equipment.
Industry
Manufacturing & Fabrication
Engineering support for production facilities, fabrication workshops, automation and quality improvement.
The Operating Environment
Fabrication and manufacturing environments combine welding, surface preparation, coating application and dimensional control under production schedules and defined quality regimes.
Engineering Challenges
- Weld-related metallurgical and corrosion behaviour.
- Surface preparation and coating application quality under production conditions.
- Material substitution, traceability and conformity of supply.
- Fabrication defects identified late in the production sequence.
- Balancing throughput with inspection and hold points.
Scope
Where Whitewells Contributes
Whitewells supports industrial engineering requirements within manufacturing and fabrication environments. Whitewells does not own or operate production plant or fabrication facilities; capability is provided as engineering and project support to the organisations that do.
Fabrication Workshops
Engineering support relating to fabrication requirements, including material selection, surface preparation and coating application considerations.
Automation
Support for the automation of manufacturing and fabrication processes, connected to Whitewells' digital engineering capability.
Quality Improvement
Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) support and structured improvement of engineering and production quality.
