Unbrako Precast.

Elevating Quality & Productivity

Unbrako Precast, a leading producer of high-precision precast concrete solutions, partnered with Handwells to strengthen its quality culture, launch a state-of-the-art batching plant, and gain formal certification to ISO 9001. Over 14 months, we worked closely with leadership and site teams to embed best practice, streamline production, and ensure compliance with internationally recognised quality standards.

About the job.

To underpin ISO 9001 requirements and operational growth, Handwells introduced a comprehensive quality documentation framework across Unbrako Precast’s operations and batching plant. We:

  • Standardised templates for production, calibration, and batching records.
  • Implemented robust version-control and approval workflows.
  • Trained staff to create clear, audit-ready documents aligned with ISO 9001 and sector guidelines.

Impact

Documentation is now consistent, accessible, and fully compliant with ISO 9001 expectations.

Manufacturing Process Optimisation

Our specialists worked closely with engineering and operations teams to refine manufacturing processes:

  • Mapping end-to-end production workflows to identify bottlenecks.
  • Applying lean manufacturing techniques to boost efficiency and reduce waste.
  • Embedding quality checkpoints into processes, ensuring issues are detected early and resolved quickly.

Outcome

These initiatives have led to improved productivity and consistent output.

Inspection Planning & Execution

To improve product reliability, Handwells designed a comprehensive inspection planning system tailored to Unbrako Precast’s needs:

  • Developing inspection schedules aligned with critical control points.
  • Providing digital tools for real-time monitoring and reporting.
  • Establishing clear escalation paths for addressing variances.

Result

Inspections now drive proactive quality assurance, fostering a culture focused on prevention rather than reaction.
