qualified site engineers and supervisors that have been part of the Aartco organization for a number of years. No two projects are ever alike in this business so it is difficult to describe a typical approach that is used. Management views every project as being unique. Aartco devotes considerable time and energy in its project planning and scheduling. Every detail in the work is evaluated before deciding the appropriate method and sequence of construction. Thorough planning facilitates smooth running projects.

Engineering and Design
Civil engineering and design is an integral part of overall project execution. Once the contract is awarded to Aartco, design activity is initiated. Design calculations and working drawings are prepared in accordance with Engineering Standards of the client. Since 1996, Aartco design engineers have used Bentley Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) Systems for producing design drawings.

Procurement of Civil Materials
Aartco has experience dealing with many major equipment and material manufacturers, both local and foreign. Where possible, purchases are arranged directly with the manufacturer in order to shorten lines of communication and ensure compliance with specifications

Miscellaneous Metal Fabrication
Aartco has its own steel fabrication and machine shop and produces most items of miscellaneous metal itself. This has made it possible in some cases to expedite completion of the work while providing high quality metal products. Galvanizing is done in an outside shop.
