General Motors – Cooling Tower
海角社区 has completed hundreds of projects over the years for General Motors. This project consisted of the demolition and removal of an existing cooling tower and installation of a new 铿乥erglass, six-cell counter 铿俹w tower. In addition to the erection of the new tower, work also included electrical wiring, mechanical piping and controls programming for its operation.
Already following an aggressive schedule, the project was faced with a temporary shutdown due to an ongoing labor disagreement within General Motors only a few weeks after breaking ground. When work was able to commence again, 海角社区, General Motors and our trade partners quickly coordinated to develop a Lean implementation plan, using principles of the 海角社区 Production System (BPS). As result, the team was able to not only meet the original scheduled completion date, but deliver the project nearly a full month early, all while maintaining the project budget.
