Econ Group were appointed to clear a former rail storage area. The job consisted of clearing 16 loads of fly tipped materials and levelling off the area to make safe for the site investigations.
Once level we when used a backhoe loader to excavate 26 trial pits across the site going to a depth of 3.5 metres. Samples of the spoil in each hole were taken to assess the make up of the ground and its content.
Operatives cut back the bushes and vegetation around the site boundary with heavy duty strimmer’s and bush cutters. All the green waste was recycled at our transfer station.
Finally, we replaced the old wooden fence with a heavy-duty steel palisade fence around the boundary with gates for access. This fencing also acted as protection to stop any further fly tipping on the site. The site was cleared on programme and within budget costs.
“Our client had a limited budget on this project but need to get the full scope of works completed ready for future development of the site. Using our backhoe loader means we were able to carry out the works on the project each day and drive the machine off every night saving on the cost of any security measures. Our backhoe was also able to undertake all tasks with ease. This saving of course helped us work with the client’s budget” – commented Senior Operations Manager Liam Moore
Orpington Maintenance Delivery Unit have been utilising Econ’s Services since the commencement of the new Environmental Services contract in October 2021. Since mobilisation Econ have provided our DU with a very efficient and professional service. The customer service and contract team are very friendly and approachable. I use the services of Econ primarily for Non-Emergency call outs which includes both general litter picking and fly tipping jobs as well as larger and more complex waste issues. Every job that I raise is acknowledged and responded to within a quick timescale. Following the completion of each job, I receive a signed completion certificate including photos and detailed commentary. Similarly the period payment reporting is issued on time with full back up information for ease of reference. This enables us to identify jobs and authorise payment quickly. I can strongly recommend the services of Econ who have improved the levels of service previously experienced and assisted our team with the resolution of a number of more difficult and costly cases on our patch.
