Introducing JMAC and Macdeck: A Project Rescued

In the world of construction, the unexpected challenges that projects can face are all too familiar. Torsion found themselves in such a situation when a client, struggling to meet project deadlines and budgets for their safety decking hire, reached out to JMAC for support. Our track record of stepping in and delivering when others couldn’t, not only salvaged the project but also secured additional works based on our performance.

Torsion chose to work with JMAC due to our proven ability to deliver large-scale projects, something not easily achievable in our industry. With the necessary assets, manpower, and logistics in place, we stood out as a reliable partner for Torsion.

Safety Decking Requirements and Project Scope: Care Homes Across the UK

The nature of the project involved the construction of care homes, and the specific requirement was to install Macdeck across all floors, totaling approximately 1250m² per floor. Currently, we are engaged in three live projects for Torsion in York, Bradford, and Birmingham, with an estimated total project area exceeding 4000m².

The Macdeck installation process is a carefully planned operation. Materials are delivered 24 hours prior to labor commencement, accompanied by a detailed lifting plan for efficient distribution across the floors. The phased erection and dismantling of our crash deck ensure maximum efficiency, with special considerations for the care home environment.

Safety Standards and Compliance: FASET Approved Crash Deck

We take pride in being at the forefront of safety standards. All operatives and management are FASET-trained, holding ‘blue skilled workers’ cards for Macdeck installation. Third-party inspections and certifications are integral to ensuring compliance, with JMAC actively involved in training site teams to uphold industry standards.

Client Feedback: Operational and Commercial Excellence

Feedback from Torsion has been overwhelmingly positive, emphasising JMAC’s competitiveness, efficiency, and the superior quality of our Macdeck safety decking. The ability to work seamlessly with different platform heights, substantial safe working load capacity, and unhindered movement underneath the decking attracted praise from the Torsion team.

Project Outcome: Success

The implementation of Macdeck played a pivotal role in the successful completion of Torsion’s care home projects. The tight construction schedule demanded swift erection and dismantling processes, and Macdeck’s reliability ensured Torsion could meet their deadlines and coordinate effectively with subsequent trades.

In conclusion, the partnership between JMAC and Torsion stands as a testament to overcoming challenges in construction through capability, reliability, and a commitment to safety. As we continue to innovate and adapt, our collaboration with Torsion sets a standard for excellence in the construction industry.
