Econ’s Reactive Maintenance team was called last month ( July 2022 ) to a major incident in East London. Our teams were on site within one hour of the call coming in to our duty manager.
Econ’s role was too fence off the burnt out premises; make the area safe for the road and footpaths to reopen again to the public. The team worked into the early hours of the morning install metal fencing and security clips to ensure that no one could gain access to the properties.
“ We have dedicated teams that are on call 24/7 for these emergency situations. Our staff are fully trained and equipped for sensitive situations. Our response vans have a variety of tools and equipment onboard for a whole range of different jobs” commented senior operations manager Liam Moore.
Our resource team for this project was:
2 x Response Vehicles
1 x Luton van loaded with equipment
30 fence panels, 60 security clips and feet
“We were impressed with the approach used by you operation team to carry out the works both professional and diligently. Econ were very accommodating to meet our needs from the initial presentations prepared on strategy to mitigate risks and throughout execution of the works and keeping us fully informed and giving us the confidence we needed. The approach of Econ Site supervisors and visiting managers through to operatives on site was always of a high standard and good-natured and we are pleased to give credit where it is due. On site initiatives by the team from demonstrations /videos of emergency procedures when working in asbestos enclosures and working with consistent site uniforms contributed to the site achieving a Kier ‘Blue’ for best practice and working above standards. This was an excellent example of collaborative working and a joint approach to promptly overcome some of the challenges with asbestos and how best to deal with this along with working near challenging neighbours’ properties, the school and the church.”
