Chemical disposal and plant removal whilst working in an environmentally sensitive area were key considerations for the 1st Industrial and Commercial team on this project.
Two year phased project, Essex
A project in a beautiful setting which could be mistaken for the countryside but which is in fact in an urban location, was the backdrop to one of the most precise jobs 1st Industrial and Commercial has ever completed. The project involved working on a site which provides drinking water. For this reason, not a single drop of a fuel or any other chemical could be spilt as the land the project took place on is protected due to the water wells below. This required the team to utilise strong communications skills, take extra care and, of course, follow the stringent health and safety requirements that they always do. The team removed generators, fuel tanks and pumps in a phased project which took two years to complete.
