Installation

Through local subcontractors, B.I.D. provides installation services for our own equipment. The advantages of this versatility includes:

  • Cost effectiveness
  • Better control over schedule
  • Better communication between site and our engineering personnel
  • Elimination of disputes between supplier and installer
  • Less coordination work for the customer

We transport large pre-assembled modules with our own specially designed extendable drop-deck trailer fleet. Pre-assembled modules have been an integral part in B.I.D.’s reputation of supplying quality handling systems. Modularization allows us to ensure that installation is performed as smoothly as possible, providing the most clear, concise direction to the on-site contractors.

We will team up with other contractors to provide turnkey solutions, depending on the best way to meet our client’s diversified needs. Deliveries are closely coordinated with installation schedules.
