Manufacturing
RVI prides itself in making use of ISO / Quality Accredited Suppliers, whether this work is done in-house or sub-contracted to our various partners. Productivity remains a top priority at RVI to meet the growing demands of customers and ever shortening deadlines. RVI follows the business philosophy of continuous improvement by refining systems and processes, which ultimately leads to a cost-efficient service offering. As such, the company advances their management teams, workforces, and organizational cultures by enhancing resource productivity.
Bespoke Product Design
RVI uses cutting edge CAD/CAM software to visualize and simulate product design before going to manufacture. The 2D and 3D design software allows the design specialist to envisage how the actual product will function pre-manufacture. Viewing and running a simulation on computer offers RVI the opportunity to reduce the need for costly prototypes, eliminates rework and improves overall design efficiency, which translates into a quality design with lower cost and reduced lead times. When it comes to the handling of gasses such as air or smoke, RVI has the ability to make use of Computational Fluid Dynamic Modelling [CFD] for complex design analysis; this adds to our ability to accurately predict the performance and cost-effectiveness of specifically engineered ventilation systems. RVI has a highly qualified team of internationally experienced design professionals capable of solving any industrial ventilation, smoke control or architectural aesthetics challenge.

Project Management
RVI, primarily being a contracting company, provides project management as a key competency; we are therefore able to offer various turnkey solutions to our customers across various industries. Because both ventilation and architectural installations are complex functions and technically challenging, clients may prefer RVI to administer the entire scope of the project. Often clients require feedback around planning, preferential procurement, coordination of services and communication with project teams around accurate programing.
Preventive Maintenance
Fire safety equipment must at all times be fit for purpose, and must therefore be properly maintained. The same applies to ventilation equipment, particularly compressors and electric control panels that act as the heart of the system. RVI’s service and maintenance contracts are tailored to the specific project undertaken for the client. Preventive maintenance specifications are itemized in compliance with the requirements of The National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act. All records of routine maintenance are kept on file. In the event of equipment malfunction, our team of specialist technicians will undertake fast and efficient repairs.
