There are a total of 11 manufacturing processes (5 in fabrication shop and 6 in profile shop), which are executed at Rhino’s Manufacturing Facility at Sufiabad Industrial Estate, 18km Ferozepur Road, Lahore.The manufacturing processes, which are executed in the fabrication shop, include:
- Cutting
- Fit ups
- Welding
- Cleaning
- Painting
Each of the 5 processes is executed in different ways (depending upon the nature of the job and customer needs). Besides, the manufacturing facility also has the storage capability for both raw and finished material.
Cutting
The first of the 5 manufacturing processes is cutting. Rhino has divided the cutting process into 4 different sections:
- CNC Flame Cutting
- Shearing
- Plasma Torch Cutting
- Drilling/Punching
Fit ups
The second of the 5 manufacturing processes is fit-ups. ALLIED-PEB has divided the fit-up process into 3 different sections:
- Flange Fit-up
- I-Beam Fit-up
- Clips and Plates Fit-up
Welding
After completion of the fit-up process, the pieces move forward to the welding process. ALLIED-PEB has divided the welding process into 3 different sections (depending upon job requirement):
- Electric Arc Welding
- MIG CO₂Welding
- SAW
Cleaning
The 4thprocess in the manufacturing of primary members is cleaning. ALLIED-PEB applies 3 different forms of cleaning procedures, depending upon the customer needs, work load and project costing. These 3 forms are:
- Shot Blasting
- Sand Blasting
- Power Brushes
Painting
The final manufacturing process (for the fabrication of primary members) is painting of the primary members. Once the MS Pieces have been approved by Quality Control department, they are processed for painting. The MS Pieces are covered with a layer of Red Oxide Enamel or Grey Epoxy, depending upon customer need. Final coat (if in the scope of ALLIED_PEB) is applied once the MS Pieces have been erected at Site. This eliminates the chances of rework, which may exist if the MS Pieces are painted at Rhino’s Manufacturing Facility and then shipped to the Customer’s Site.
