Our most recent contract with Hampshire County Council has allowed us to work and gain experience with working on more sensitive worksites such as schools and community sites. Due to the locations of the specified works, we ensure that contact is made with the premises on the day of the projects being passed to ourselves so that we can ascertain the requirements of working on the sites promptly to ensure effective plans can be made.
As the majority of the schools are Woodland schools, the woodchip and timber are often left on site to benefit the pupils. Where this is not possible, we ensure contact is made with other local schools to offer these products as we aim to keep the byproducts of our operations within the local area to benefit the wider community.
Effective programming and communication are key within the contract due to the varying risks which need to be mitigated before working on site. This can range from varying working hours to be flexible around the busiest times of the day on site to presetting cordons to allow our teams to swiftly move between the working areas.
A set programme with specific requirements is always discussed and issued to the client prior to the works starting allowing all parties to raise concerns which are mitigated promptly.
Due to the variety of sites the team attend for the council ranging from police stations, art centres, ambulance centres, schools to highways it has allowed the company to further create universal habits that are built into daily routine to ensure no matter the variaty of sensitive site that is being attended all members present are being respectfull to the regulations whilst following our methods to ensure no control measures are being missed.
