Latest Project - A stitch in time.........

This week it is a report from our contracts division.  That well known phrase "a stitch in time saves nine" is especially applicable to retaining wall alongside fast flowing water.  We have seen £1,500 repointing projects become £150,000 reconstruction jobs.

Recently we were commissioned by a long standing client to do some wall maintenance ahead of the winter, here are some of the results.  It is never going to look like a new wall, but a measure of integrity has been restored.

When budgets allow a complete repoint is probably on the cards, but now the wall looks like it will survive the winter.

So Many Manholes, But What Do They All Do ?

 
One of our confined space teams have recently been solving a local client’s puzzle.

Expert Logistics are in the process of expansion requiring further services running beneath their site.

The number and location of manhole covers around the site proved a real headache to the maintenance manager, until he called in the problem solvers.



Our team were able to access the chambers and confirm suitable ducts for running additional services.

The nature of the access chambers required a safe system of work utilising confined space skills.

The alterative solution would have resulted in large excavations and disruption to a busy site.

Call us on 01270 589615 if you have a similar headache and want a professional low impact solution.

Problem Solved!
