Hook-up target
The GRP system's seamless shell was the right fit for a high-volume, hard-wearing environment. Each pod was moulded, fitted, tested and QR-coded before leaving the factory, giving full traceability across the 684-unit scheme.
Single-source manufacturing meant one point of accountability for quality, one delivery schedule and one handover standard. The result was fewer site trades, reduced snagging and a faster route to practical completion.
