Bespoke fabrication, Installation, and Testing:
RSS play a critical role in the on-site installation of lifting equipment at waste treatment and clean water works, ensuring that all systems are efficiently integrated to meet operational and regulatory requirements.
Their work involves precise planning, rigorous adherence to health and safety standards, and the application of technical expertise to install pump lifting equipment and other essential infrastructure lifting operations.
We have experience in the installation of bespoke fabricated gantries, swing jibs, wall mounted jib arms, davit sockets, and other electrical or manual lifting equipment operations.
Working in challenging environments, they coordinate with site managers and other contractors to minimise downtime and ensure installations align with project timelines.
Through their dedication, RSS engineers contribute to the reliable operation of waste treatment facilities, supporting environmental sustainability and compliance.
Engineered concrete bases;
RSS collaborates closely with structural engineers to develop, design, and install robust concrete bases for lifting equipment, ensuring the highest standards of safety, precision, and durability.
This partnership involves detailed planning and engineering calculations to create custom solutions that meet the specific requirements of each project. From initial site surveys and soil analysis to the design of reinforced concrete foundations, RSS ensures that every base is designed for the loads and forces needed making sure it conforms to regulation 4 and 6 of LOLER.
During installation, they coordinate with partners to maintain accuracy and quality, ensuring compliance with industry standards and client expectations. These engineered bases provide the essential support for lifting equipment, enabling reliable performance in even the most demanding environments.
Concrete Calculations and confirmation of structures;
RSS works collaboratively with structural engineers to assess and confirm the suitability of existing historical concrete floors and walls. This process involves thorough evaluations, including structural integrity tests, load capacity analysis, and compliance checks.
Where necessary, they recommend reinforcement solutions or adjustments to maintain the integrity of the substrate. By working in partnership with structural engineers, RSS ensures that installations are safe.
Leveraging their expertise and advanced testing methods, RSS ensures that the historical structures can safely support the operational demands of modern lifting equipment within the water industry sector.
Uprating historical runway beams and other overhead systems;
RSS specialises in evaluating and updating the safe working loads (SWL) of existing runway beams and other permanent structures to ensure continued safe and efficient operation.
This process includes detailed inspections, structural analysis, and load testing to assess the current condition and capacity of the structures. RSS can also and implement any necessary adjustments or reinforcements to maintain compliance with safety regulations.
Once the evaluations are complete, they provide updated SWL certifications and documentation, giving clients confidence in the ongoing reliability of their equipment.
By extending the functional life of these structures, RSS supports cost-effective and safe operations across various sites and industrial environments.
Complete Lifting Operation Concept Re-Designs;
RSS brings extensive experience, in-depth knowledge, and industry-recognised qualifications to the redesign of lifting operation on-site, delivering highly specified, high-quality installations tailored to the unique demands of the water industry.
Their expertise enables them to evaluate existing lifting systems and innovate solutions that optimise safety, efficiency, and reliability. From concept development to installation, RSS employs cutting-edge engineering practices and collaborates with clients to ensure every design meets rigorous industry standards and site-specific requirements.
By prioritising precision and quality, RSS consistently delivers installations that enhance operational performance, supporting the water industry’s critical infrastructure and sustainability goals.
Working at Height, Leading edge, and Confined Space Safety;
RSS partners with industry specialists to deliver comprehensive safety solutions for working at height, leading-edge safety, and confined space operations. We have a duty of care and commitment to protecting workers in challenging and hazardous environments.
RSS designs and implements tailored systems that prioritize compliance with the latest safety regulations and best practices. Their solutions include the installation of fall protection systems, leading-edge safety equipment, and confined space entry and monitoring systems, all engineered to meet site-specific needs.
By collaborating with experts, having confined space trained employees, and leveraging advanced technologies, RSS ensures that every solution provides maximum safety, operational efficiency, and peace of mind for clients across all industries.
Hire Equipment;
RSS supplies a comprehensive range of lifting equipment, man-riding equipment, and confined space hire equipment to meet the specialized needs of the water industry.
With a focus on reliability and safety, RSS provides high-quality, well-maintained equipment designed to meet demanding applications, including maintenance, repair, and infrastructure projects. Their extensive hire fleet includes items chain blocks, portable gantries, man-riding winches, tripods, and confined space entry systems that are all compliant with industry standards. By offering flexible hire solutions and expert support, RSS ensures water industry clients can access the right tools to complete their projects efficiently and safely.
Hiring is the best way that equipment can be used on-site for shorter periods of time when purchasing the equipment isn’t cost effective. It is also a great means to get equipment quickly to site when emergency works happen at short notice in an ever changing, fast paced industry.
