About the Project:
Client: David Austin Roses
Our client, David Austin Roses, is a leading commercial nursery based in the heart of the Shropshire, UK. With acres of farmland and expansive collection of greenhouse space, they specialise in growing a wide range of English Roses, serving both retail and wholesale markets.
David Austin Roses reached out to us for assistance with replacing split pins in their expansive Cambridge glasshouse and conducting an inspection for potential rack wear.
The Process:
Commercial Glasshouse Contracts Ltd provided a comprehensive solution tailored to address the specific needs of David Austin Roses:
- Split Pin Replacement: Following a detailed inspection, all damaged or worn split pins were carefully removed and replaced with durable, high-quality replacements. This ensured its overall stability and performance.Rack Assessment: We carried out a comprehensive evaluation of all racks within the glasshouse, meticulously checking for signs of wear, misalignment, or damage. Any identified issues were documented, and we implemented necessary adjustments or replacements to maintain optimal functionality and ensure the efficient operation of the glasshouse systems.
The Result:
The implemented solutions led to significant improvements:
- Improved Functionality: By thoroughly assessing and addressing any issues with the racks, the operational systems of the glasshouse have been optimised. This allows for smoother operation, ensuring that critical processes like ventilation function reliably.
- Increased Safety: Addressing potential weak points like damaged split pins and worn racks mitigated safety risks for staff working within the glasshouse. A safer environment contributes to more efficient operations.
- Prolonged Equipment Lifespan: Routine maintenance, such as replacing split pins and inspecting racks, prevents further wear and tear. This extends the lifespan of the glasshouse infrastructure and reduces the likelihood of costly repairs in the future.
