Our Daily Operations:
1. Morning Briefings and Safety Protocols
Mills Structural Corporation begins with a comprehensive morning briefing at 6:00 AM that includes all project team members every morning we are on site. The briefing covers the day’s project goals, specific tasks, and any updates needing to be communicated.
Safety is our top priority. Every morning meeting includes a review of safety protocols, and a toolbox talk focusing on specific hazards that may be encountered on the job that day. The specific hazards discussed are derived from our Job Safety Analysis Report that is detailed to the project team’s scope of work. We emphasize the safety standards of personal protective equipment (PPE), proper tool usage, and adherence to OSHA standards.
2. On-Site Erection Operations
By 6:00 AM, our erection crew is on-site, ready to begin their work. Erection tasks vary depending on the project but typically involve:
Quality Control: Each piece undergoes rigorous inspection to ensure it meets our high standards and project specifications before operations begin.
Setting Up Cranes and Equipment Support: Ensuring all machinery is positioned correctly and safely.
Installing Structural Steel: Using cranes and hoisting equipment, our skilled erectors position and secure steel components.
On-Site Coordination: Erection supervisors coordinate closely with project managers and other contractors to ensure seamless integration of our work with other construction activities.
Safety Inspections: Continuous monitoring and inspection to maintain a safe work environment.
3. Lunchtime and Midday Safety Review
From 11:30 PM to 12:15 PM, the production team breaks for lunch. This time also serves as a moment for field managers to review the morning’s activities and address any safety concerns or incidents before after lunch operations commence.
4. Afternoon Work and Project Wrap-Up
At 12:30 PM, work resumes. The afternoon is dedicated to finishing up assigned fabrication and erection tasks, with a focus on maintain production momentum. By 3:30 PM, teams are preparing the site for the next morning and begin wrapping up for the day. Tools and equipment are safely stored, and the work site is secured.
5. End-of-Day Review
At 4:00 PM, the management team conducts an after-action review, evaluating the day's progress and planning for the following day. Any issues or deviations from the plan are discussed and resolved.
