Mike Pearce – BAA Construction Director
“During my time as BAA Construction Director on the T5 Project we experienced a number of problems often associated with major construction projects such as HSE Performance, Budget Restraints and Programme Expectations. To this end we were constantly in pursuit of improvements and innovation to resolve these issues.
Initially a small number of operatives and a Technical Manager were brought on to site with the defined remit to perform various tasks at high level utilising Rope Access, without impinging existing ongoing activities. Tasks such as Coatings, Window Cleaning, Cable Pulling, Fire Stopping and Mechanical Installations were successfully completed by the Opus team of skilled Rope Access Tradesmen. All Rope Access activities were completed on Programme, Safely and in full compliance with IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) standards. The success of the Opus team generated substantial cost savings against the planned Budgets without impacting other operative’s access to large areas of the site.
In the latter stages of the project the provision of Rope Access grew significantly, to the extent Opus provided circa 60 working operatives along with supervision backed by a site team consisting of a Technical Manager, Site Manager and an Administrator, supported by their Head Office and Senior Management.
To conclude I would have no hesitation in recommending Opus Industrial Services Ltd, to any prospective clients, as my experience of the company indicates they are a highly dedicated and proficient company with excellent Senior Management and Staff.
If you require clarity on any of the above or require any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me”
