Airbus A380 Inboard Outer Fixed Leading Edge Assembly

Very typically, Assystem' clients require an engineering solution that also involves installation, commission, and service support factors, such as operator training. An example shown here is the Airbus A380 leading edge assembly sequence, a project involving not only design of the tooling required, but also full site support of the technically challenging assembly fixture, including civils and site services, management of supplier chain and contractors, liaison with, and management of, building and health officials, and so on.

To actively and effectively execute this kind of support, Assystem maintained a site office throughout the duration of the project. From preparations to the floor of the building, through supply and project management of the large structures involved, through seminars on best practise, right up to last minute modifications, Assystem was there first hand to assist and advise.

Assystem core business aspects often combine to give a turnkey solution, and this match of component design, tooling design, manufacture and installation allows a seamless service to industry.
