The Challenge

A major civil construction firm was forced to halt work when custom brackets and spacers for a key installation failed to arrive on schedule.
The missing components left crews idle and threatened costly project delays on a tight infrastructure deadline.

The client needed 82 precision-machined steel parts produced urgently — and delivered to site before work resumed the next morning.

Our Approach

Southside Engineering immediately reprioritised its production schedule to accommodate the emergency order.

Our team:

  • Reviewed the supplied CAD files and optimised toolpaths for efficient, high-speed machining.
  • Programmed multiple CNC machining centres to run the job concurrently overnight.
  • Used high-strength steel stock to ensure long-lasting structural integrity.
  • Carried out quality inspection and batch verification to maintain uniform accuracy across all 82 parts.
  • Coordinated direct early-morning delivery to site to meet the client’s install window.

By leveraging our high-volume CNC machining workflow, we completed, finished, and dispatched all parts within 24 hours of receiving the order. 24 HOURS

The Outcome

The construction team received their order at sunrise and began installation immediately. All parts fit perfectly, enabling the project to stay on schedule without a single delay.

Results:

  • ⚙️ 82 precision parts machined and delivered overnight
  • 🕓 Zero project downtime
  • 🔩 Accurate fit ensured seamless on-site installation
  • 💬 Positive client feedback for responsiveness and quality
