Construction plant appearance

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

We in the construction industry often have new plant in form of excavators, alloy towers and barriers coming through the life cycle of the scheme.

These look very well presented until used and then can become dirty quite quickly, which ultimately brings down the appearance of the site and often the workforce using the equipment.

This is strange considering how much attention we in the industry pay towards the routine weekly, monthly or bi annual inspections we naturally carry out through compliance, and so we have now implemented on our site a weekly inspection and cleaning of all plant.

Every Friday for the last hour of the day, all the plant picked up on the weekly inspection are sent for cleaning to maintain the overall site, workforce and plant appearance to our standards.
