TerraFirma is constantly striving to add value to our offerings and to be the leader in the groundwater control services industry. TFexcelerators are our background services which create additional value for clients.
TFexcelerators is the name we have given the unique combination of support services through which we add value to our clients in addition to the P2E Process™ and our TargetZero™ Safety Program. TFexcelerators is the name we have given to our three-pronged approach to ensuring the most value in our services. The three components of TFexcelerators are our unique capabilities, our implementation of current technologies, and maintaining the highest level of professionalism and integrity.
Capabilities
Our capabilities underlie our P2E Process™. These capabilities include both equipment capabilities, but also our operational and knowledge assets.
Terrafirma maintains industry leading equipment capabilities, allowing us to efficiently mobilize, install, and demobilize our dewatering systems. Our purchase of a Gus Pech Super George HD-51 drill rig, built to our specifications is the backbone of our capabilities. To build on this, we have developed our Rapid Mobilization Unit, effectively creating a self-contained and supported unit which we can mobilize of client sites for safe and efficient field operations.
Equipment capabilities are crucial to safe and efficient operations, but must be backed up by a strong and developed workforce. TerraFirma employees highly trained personnel to install our groundwater control systems. We are always looking for opportunities to refine and tweak our procedures and operations to add value and increase client satisfaction. This is crucial on the jobsite, where space is critical, and my operations may be ongoing simultaneously.
Behind our operations personnel, we have vast experience in the analysis and design involved in developing efficient groundwater control systems. David Giles, TerraFirma’s president, is a trained geologist, and has been working directly in the dewatering industry for almost 20 years. We have also built a wide network of professional resources to ensure that our designs are thouroughly and properly designed; reducing the risk of underperforming systems as well as ensuring systems are not over-built; and therefore not cost-efficient for the contractor.
Technology
TerraFirma is dedicated to implementing technology in areas which help us to better serve our clients. One way in which we have done this is through the implementation of Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3). WSS 3 is a web based application which allows us to collaborated with clients throughout the project lifecycle.
Using WSS 3, we create an online website for our projects. Through this, clients can have access to our latest updates and information. Also, if a client has information or documents which they need to deliver to TerraFirma, they have the ability to upload directly to the project website.
This tool is useful in all stages of a project. During the bidding phase, clients are able to provide TerraFirma with the most recent drawings, specifications and addendums required for an accurate dewatering proposal and bid. Daily reports, safety information, and other data can be stored on the website during the installation; giving the client access to critical information regarding their project. Once a system is in place, water levels and be tracked, and maintenance information recorded for easy reference.
Professionalism
Professionalism and integrity are key characteristics TerraFirma is constantly striving for and delivering to our clients. We believe that to be successful, we must always deal with our customers as we expect others to deal with us. We are committed to offering No-BS estimates because we believe that the only way for us to survive, is if we offer consistent and expected results in line with what we have stated we will deliver. When problems do arise, TerraFirma will strive for solutions which benefit all parties.
TFexcelerators are the core of TerraFirma, they enable us to implement our P2E Process™ and deliver value to our clients. Contact us for your next project, we will provide you with an honest bid, and a predictable, efficient groundwater control system.
