Examples of our plant movement work in Essex:
Southend Hospital - Plant delivery and positioning
Clarke Energy (Southend) - Scope was to transport and position a number of items of plant for the new energy centre at Southend Hospital. Types of plant installed were PHE's, fuel tanks, vessels, chillers, switchboards and the photos show the delivery of the generator. The generator positioning could have been challenging due to its dimensions and the room available but with proper planning and measuring prior to the work it was installed within 30 minutes.
