Project lifecycle

Initial set up of the job-site

Project lifecycle 1
This phase involves the customer moving their staff on-site. In this phase, the customer typically establishes a site office on-site, provides welfare facilities for their workforce as well as site storage. In this phase we offer equipment such as:

  • Diggers and dumpers used for earth preparation, removing top soil and putting down stone
  • Excavators and rollers used in the construction of the temporary site area, hard standing for material storage and car parks
  • Accommodation units to form the "Contractors' Village"
  • Temporary traffic management systems to control the movement of traffic on and off site
  • Portable generators and job-site power distribution systems to ensure the ready availability of electrical power
  • Temporary lighting depending on season
  • Steel storage units and fencing to help secure and manage the site including any security compound

Site clearance, excavation and ground working

Project lifecycle 2

In this phase the customer clears and consolidates the sites and excavates as required to establish the appropriate foundations. The equipment we are called upon to supply in this phase includes:

  • Diggers, dumpers and other earthmoving equipment to transport earth and spoil around the job-site
  • Piling to support main construction structures
  • Acrow equipment to support concrete foundations and other concrete structures
  • Trench shoring for deep drainage
  • Rollers and other equipment used for the re-flattening of land once the underground work is complete
  • We also offer re-fuelling of heavy equipment whilst on-site and supply both fuel and water bowsers
  • Smaller hand-held tools

On the larger sites, we offer to establish an on-site depot at this phase enabling the lead contractor and his sub-contractors ready access to an immediate store of available equipment without having to incur the delay or delivery cost necessitated by off-site provision.
