090 Builders Group Inc.
090 Builders Group is a Canadian construction group specializing in framing projects from coast to coast. Their team is highly skilled, organized, and is fully equipped to go anywhere for a project. The group focuses on wood-frame construction for multi-family developments and pride themselves on both their quality and timely production. 090’s primary objective is to maintain and grow their reputation for top quality and timely production. They also place high value on creating the safest work environment possible for their employees, their clients, and the general public. With the goals of speed and safety in mind, 090 reached out to Bissett for assistance in finding a solution to the significant safety issues and production delays they had been experiencing as a result of the main fastener they were using.
Problem
For over 20 years, 090 had been using 28 degree wire weld nails. Their workers experienced significant safety issues as a result of the wire fragments from the fasteners ejecting at high speed into their eyes and skin. Not only was this causing injuries, it was also prohibiting the workers from doing their jobs. Injured workers would be unable to work, and the fasteners would often jam up the nail guns which would then need to either be repaired or replaced – creating higher costs and longer downtime for the group. Ultimately, the use of wire weld nails was causing 090 to have higher costs, created many workplace injuries and safety issue, and drastically affected their production times. As a company that prides themselves on their timely production and workplace safety – this was a serious problem that was in desperate need of a solution.
Impact
Find a solution
090 views safety, efficiency, and value of the products they use as essential components to their success. Understanding those needs and creating a solution to their concerns around the 28 degree wire weld nails meant working closely with their team to find a solution tailored to their needs. Bissett conducted extensive testing both in the field and in our service centers to find the best solution possible. The solution: Bissett 28° Papertape Nails
Provide a safer alternative product that removes the risk of injury
Using wire weld nails can result in wire fragments being ejected from the nail gun at an extremely high speed, creating a high risk for potential injuries. Switching from wire weld nails to Bissett’s papertape nails removed the risk of wire fragment injuries, therefore making the workplace safer for 090.
Keep 090 doing what they do best – their job
Gun failure and damage caused by wire fragments was eliminated when 090 switched to Bissett Papertape nails. In addition, our papertape nails were tested and shown to withstand various climates across Canada – holding up in even the wettest and coldest of weather. Bissett’s Papertape nails keep 090’s crews working efficiently.
Conclusion
Bissett was able to offer 090 Builders Group a solution that both improved workplace safety and increased productivity for the company. Through many collaborative meetings and extensive testing both in our facilities and onsite with 090, it was determined that our Bissett 28° papertape nails would solve both the safety and production issues. This solution also allowed the 090 to continue using their existing guns – therefore, creating no extra costs. This not only saved them money, but additionally reduced the delays in production and significantly increased workplace safety.
Testimonial
At 090 Builders Group Inc., safety, efficiency and value of the products we use are essential components to our success. We had been using 28 Degree wire weld stick nails for 20+ years. Poor quality wire welding often caused production challenges due to wire not properly shearing off. Our people would also regularly get hit by dangerous wire fragments in the skin and eyes sometimes causing injuries. We switched from wire weld to Bissett Fasteners papertape 28 Degree about two years ago with very good success. We now have no more feed problems due to poor wire welding, and no more dangerous wire fragments hitting people in the skin and eyes.
