Double door containers – The one in, one out policy
Using: Secure Site Store – 20ft x 8ft High Cube – Double Door These are a relatively new assimilation into our hire fleet. They have all of the advantages of a normal High Cube 20 foot, but benefit from doors both ends. This means whichever way round the unit is dropped on site, there will…
Need to keep roadside plant secure? – Pump up the volume!
Using: Secure Site Store – 20ft x 8ft x 9ft 6in High Cube One of our longest standing clients used to suffer very badly with plant being stolen or maliciously interfered with from their invariably roadside job sites. But for many years now they have used 20 foot high cube containers to keep the 3…
Standing tall?
Using: Secure Site Store – 10ft x 8ft x 9ft 6in High Cube Sometimes a little more height is needed. That’s why we have some high cube versions of the standard 10ft x 8ft. Being more than foot taller inside, with their elevated roofs, they will hold higher items such as a 2.7 tonne mini…
Universal roadside storage
Using: Secure Site Store – 10ft x 8ft We have more of these handy storage units on the hire fleet than just about anything else. A perennial favourite with roadside crews such as gas, water and civil, they can be moved and re-sited with a half decent HIAB, even when they’ve been loaded up with…
Enough is enough
Using: Secure Site Store – 8ft x 8ft Sometimes, enough is enough. For instance if you have a piece of machinery that you need to keep secured that’s just less than 8 feet long, why would you clutter things up with a storage unit that’s any bigger than absolutely necessary? Because almost inevitably, you’ll either…
Just enough room to squeeze one in?
Using: Secure Site Store – 8ft x 6ft A lot of job sites, particularly ones in urban environs, suffer with the twin curses of little spare space and lots of crime and vandalism. Our 8ft x 6ft stores can provide the answer, with a good bit of storage space in a compact package. Being only…
No room at the Inn? – A tale of 2 trades.
Using: Secure Site Store – 8ft x 5ft Pub refits are very often a high pressure activity, because every day or night they’re not open for refreshment, the precious clientele can slip away, with the risk they may never return. This can put considerable strain on the project. Add that a case where there is…
Mains water re-routing – The Shard, London
Using: Modular GRP Plates Like a lot of the bigger developments in urban job sites of recent years, The Shard was no exception when it came to pushing the boundaries. Even relatively simple tasks like installing roadplates to protect services or open trenches was complicated by the sheer complexity of the existing underground infrastructure and…
WWTW, Kent – Large masses in small spaces
Using: Steel plates for Ballast/Test Weights/Kentledge Blocks A long standing customer contacted us with a basic concept for a temporary ‘stop end’ on a drain run within the confines of an older WWTW. In principle it was fairly straightforward and have normally involved stackable kentledge blocks, but there was a problem. Despite the area adjacent…
Working with U.K Airports – Protecting new concrete
Using: 6m x 3m x 25mm AIR SIDE – Steel C/W Bevelled Edge and SALLY Even those that have never set foot on a runway or airside apron will have looked out a plane window in wonder at the massive patchwork quilt of concrete panels that make up modern ground airport infrastructure. It is of…
