Organization Mobilization on a Project

One of the key attributes of a quality rigging and demolition contractor is the ability to organize, coordinate, and mobilize manpower and equipment to a worksite quickly and efficiently. Many projects demand quick mobilization by R. Baker and as we are often the first trade needed on a project, particularly when emergency demolition is required. 

First, project personnel must ensure that all necessary tools, equipment, and PPE are on hand and thoroughly inspected and calibrated. This includes everything from slings, shackles, Johnson bars, spreader bars, stainless steel cabling, and gas sniffers, just to name a few. A specific quality plan must be provided along with proper insurances, contract documents, and any changes that need to be addressed upfront. 

There are numerous things that must be addressed at the start of a project. Where on the site should Baker crews and equipment mobilize? Is there access to large machineries like lulls, dumpsters, and trailers? Where will items and equipment like Bobcats and tanks be stored? How many team members need to be at the site on day one, and what trades, e.g. electricians, riggers, demolition crews, plumbers, etc.? What tasks must be accomplished in the first few days or weeks? 

Construction projects are dynamic by nature, and a quality rigging contractor like R. Baker & Son is always ready to adapt to unexpected problems and changes such as when clients require additional work scope or reassign tasks that were originally to have been performed by other trades. All of these tasks must be handled smoothly among multiple projects going on at the same time. 

If it sounds complicated, that’s because it is, but R. Baker & Son personnel in the office, warehouse, and parts department, as well as foremen, road supers who run the projects, and those who interface with the customers are always on top of their game, no matter what the challenges are (and these past 20 months have been exceptionally challenging). As 2021 comes to a close, we want to say thank you and express our sincere appreciation to our supremely talented team.
