A kiosk being positioned, with engineers having to be careful of live cables and nearby utility chambers Kiosk replacement come rain or shine Fed up with digging in the wrong place?

SebaKMT · Archcliffe Road, Dover, CT17 9EN T: 01304 501 101 - F: 01304 502 307 E:uksales@megger.com· W: www.sebakmt.com/en compounded by the weather conditions. The client required the entire project to be completed within less than four months, which happened to be the four most extreme winter months of recent years, in terms of wind and rain. More than once, a day's work had to be abandoned owing to 90mph winds, and the entire team had to deal with the result- ing last-minute scheduling changes. This was overcome thanks to a number of factors, not least the strong relationship MCL has with a local haulage firm, which guaranteed same-day logistics with a 100% success rate. Even on occasions when a standard flatbed lorry was insufficient, a Mercedes-Benz Unimog vehicle was dra‡ed in to navigate diffi- cult terrain. The last four jobs were the most complex, because the kiosks required internal parti- tions and some were more than 3.5m high, making them hard to transport. This was solved in advance by manufacturing them in a flat-pack configura- tion, and ensuring availability of delivery vehicles with the appropriate load capacity and crane mounts. Hobbis comments: "Not only did we deliver the project on time and under budget, but we built a real rapport with the cli- ent team. Because it was the same small team on every one of the sites, they kept inductions and risk to a minimum and allowed our own site teams to build a strong relationship of trust and mutual understanding with the client. Neilan Perumal, project manager at Anglian Water, adds: "We would be glad to work with MCL again should another project of this nature be required." Hobbis says MCL is now looking to the future: "As water companies look towards mov- ing from a security rating of Level 3 up to Level 4, we expect that all of our water clients will have an eye on similar kiosk replacement projects. We already have a product in the final stages of development that we are confident meets all the standards of Level 4, and we look forward to releasing our test results to the market." n The Ovivo® screw compactor incorporates the original Jones+A wood™ features that have a proven record of reliability and robustness.
