Stop by any construction site in the heat of summer and you’ll find workers doing everything they can to combat the stress of high temperatures. From cooling buffs and head coverings to box fans and iced water, crews invest a lot of energy staying hydrated and safe.
No matter what tactics are used, heat has an impact on construction effectiveness and efficiency – not to mention safety. Combine that with high humidity in some areas of the country and sensitive electronics and equipment can suffer as well. Fortunately there are mitigation tactics that reduce on-site risks, including utilizing Off-Site Construction (OSC) that takes place in a controlled, indoor environment.
One of the biggest benefits of Epsilon’s indoor manufacturing facilities is the ability to deliver consistent quality without the negative effects of seasonal weather. Indoor construction all but eliminates the worst effects of rainy seasons, heat waves and cold snaps. Technicians, welders and other skilled workers can focus on the construction process and precision results, without seasonal weather distractions. This results in a safer workforce, consistent quality and an adherence to production schedules.
Although Epsilon employees benefit from our indoor manufacturing facilities, ultimately our customers are the winners. Epsilon is able to consistently deliver exceptional quality and results, on time and on budget, with weather-related impacts being limited to the compressed timeline for on-site installation.
