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
Our Client is extremely pleased at the way we, supported by Econ, have dealt with the situation. From the moment you confirmed that notifiable asbestos was present, a focused, concerted effort has been made by Econ to deal with the problem. The client was impressed at the speed in which Econ tabled a strategic proposal to the HSE to remove the asbestos, working 24/7 non-stop, to expedite the removal. The fact that the proposal, including approval by the HSE, was achieved in such a short timescale is credit to Econ. The proactive approach, while being flexible and accommodating to allow key ECR staff to work in a safe, isolated contained area, has really impressed the Network Rail team.
