From Design to Installation: Relinea’s End-To-End GRP Solutions Process

As industry leaders in the design, fabrication, and installation of bespoke GRP solutions, Relinea brings a unique, client-centred approach to every project. Our team provides a comprehensive, end-to-end GRP solution process, with unwavering commitment to quality and precision at each stage.

Understanding Client Needs: The Foundation of Every Project

At Relinea, every GRP solution begins with understanding our clients’ unique needs and challenges. Whether we’re collaborating with engineers, architects, or project managers, our goal is to grasp the full scope of the project, from functional requirements to environmental conditions. We start each project by conducting detailed consultations with clients to discuss:

• Project Requirements: What is the intended function of the GRP component? What are the load-bearing needs, safety considerations, and aesthetic preferences?
• Environmental Conditions: We assess the physical environment where the product will be installed, accounting for factors like exposure to corrosive elements, temperature ranges, and UV exposure, which can impact which resins are needed.
• Compliance and Standards: Different industries and locations have varying compliance standards. We ensure that each GRP solution we design meets or exceeds local, national, and industry-specific regulations, including safety and fire resistance standards.

This initial discovery phase ensures a shared vision for the project, allowing Relinea’s team to align technical capabilities with client expectations.

Custom Design and Engineering: Precision in Every Detail

Once the project’s requirements are fully understood, Relinea’s design and engineering teams bring the vision to life. Our approach combines expertise with state-of-the-art design tools to create GRP solutions that are not only functional but optimised for performance and longevity. Here’s how we manage the design phase:

• Concept Development: Our designers begin by creating initial concepts based on the project specifications. Each concept is tailored to address the unique needs of the application, considering factors like weight, strength, and installation feasibility.
• 3D Modelling and Computer-Aided Design (CAD): We use advanced 3D modelling and CAD software to transform concepts into precise digital models. Our in-house team produces detailed drawings and 3D renders of the GRP solutions for our client to agree to before work starts. This allows customers to significantly reduce the time from initial concept to production and save them time and money.
• Client Collaboration and Approval: At Relinea, we believe that client involvement is key. Our team schedules regular review sessions with clients to ensure that the design aligns with their vision. These iterative feedback sessions allow us to incorporate any adjustments swiftly, ensuring that the final product meets every requirement.

This phase is where Relinea’s attention to detail and dedication to excellence truly shine. Each design is scrutinized to ensure that it will not only perform optimally but also integrate seamlessly into the client’s infrastructure.

Fabrication: Transforming Design into Reality

The next stage of the process is fabrication, where digital designs are brought to life in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. Relinea’s fabrication process combines skilled craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, guaranteeing precision and quality in every GRP product we produce.

• Material Selection and Preparation: Depending on the project’s specific needs, our team selects the appropriate GRP materials, resins and reinforcements, ensuring that each component will withstand the environmental and mechanical demands it will face.
• Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: Our fabricators utilise the latest technology and CNC machines to produce everything from standard or mass-produced GRP fabrications to bespoke designs.
• Quality Assurance: Quality is paramount in every GRP product we manufacture. As everything is made at our head office before being sent out for installation, we can check the design-build and quality, and reduce the on-site adjustment time.

With a commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices, Relinea ensures that each step of the fabrication process minimises waste and maximises material efficiency, resulting in environmentally responsible production.

Installation Planning and Preparation: Setting the Stage for Success

Installation planning is a crucial step that determines the ease and efficiency with which each GRP product will be integrated on-site. Relinea’s approach to installation is thorough and strategic, ensuring that every detail is anticipated and addressed before the first bolt is fastened.

• Site Assessment: Our team conducts detailed site assessments to determine the logistical requirements of the installation. This includes evaluating access points, space constraints, and environmental conditions that may impact the installation process.
• Custom Installation Plan: Based on the site assessment, Relinea develops a tailored installation plan that aligns with the client’s schedule and operational needs. We take pride in ensuring that the installation process is as seamless as possible, minimising disruption to the client’s operations.
• Client Coordination: Communication is central to our process. Our project managers work closely with the client to coordinate timelines, discuss potential challenges, and ensure that every aspect of the installation is planned for.

By carefully planning the installation phase, Relinea guarantees that each GRP solution can be integrated smoothly and efficiently, resulting in minimal downtime and maximum client satisfaction.

Final Installation: Bringing It All Together

The final stage of Relinea’s GRP solution process is the installation itself. Our experienced installation teams work with precision and professionalism to ensure that each GRP component is correctly positioned, secured, and integrated into the client’s infrastructure.

• On-Site Expertise: Relinea’s installation teams bring extensive experience and specialised knowledge to every project. Knowledgeable and experienced, our crew is highly skilled in the installation of GRP structures across a wide variety of industries.
• Safety and Compliance: We prioritise safety during installation, adhering to stringent safety protocols and compliance standards. Our team is trained in best practices to ensure that each installation meets all regulatory requirements for safety and stability.
• Client Handover and Final Inspection: After installation, we conduct a final inspection to ensure every aspect of the project meets our quality standards. Because we work with our own experienced fitters, you can be sure that your project will be carried out on time, with the utmost care, and meets the highest safety standards.
