A successful installation is won before the first crate is opened. The pre-installation survey confirms access, foundations, services and interfaces so the equipment arrives to a site that is genuinely ready to receive it.
Where this phase sits in the installation lifecycle, and the standards it is held to.
The survey reconciles the design against the real site — dimensions, levels, access and the services the plant will connect to.
Most installation delays trace back to a readiness gap found too late. Catching them in survey protects the programme and the budget.
The survey output is a readiness report and an installation method statement — the agreed plan that the mechanical, pipework and E&I phases are built on.
Setting, levelling and assembling tanks, skids and rotating equipment.
Process pipework, valves and connections into existing plant.
Power, control wiring, instrument hook-up and loop checks.
Factory and site acceptance testing through to performance proving.
As-builts, O&M manuals and operator training at handover.
Reynolds & Bauhm delivers installation as a single coordinated scope — survey, erection, pipework, E&I, commissioning and handover — with one accountable team from delivery to performance sign-off.
A thorough site survey is the foundation of an installation that fits first time. Before any steel is cut we capture the real geometry, levels and access of the site, locate existing services and tie-in points, and check load-bearing, drainage and power availability against what the design assumes. Discrepancies between drawing and reality — the things that cause expensive surprises mid-installation — are found and resolved on paper. The survey also informs the lift plans, delivery routes and construction sequence. This early diligence is why our installations land cleanly: the plant is designed and pre-fabricated to suit the site as it actually is, not as it was assumed to be.
